Hello Daniel and Brenda and welcome to Families. My son is 17 years old and was initally diagnosed with moderate to severe autism. He is now however high functioning and is a junior in high schol in special ed classes. I am glad you chose this site..

I hope my site supports as well as reminds that you are not alone on this roller coaster we call autism. You are just as special as your loved one..I hope to hear from you soon...(((MANY HUGS)))
