My son will require assistance his whole life because of autism. Good enough for ya?
I'm sorry to hear that and I hope things are going as smoothly as possible.
You said that autism has an unmistakable set of characteristics. That sounds like you're talking about one end of the spectrum. On the other end, there are many characteristics that appear with varying strengths. When we were young, there were probably many kids who today would be diagnosed with some form of ASD.
