Autistic Man Opens Up to Teachers

This man wrote a letter to his teacher detailing all the things he would have liked to have told them as a child. It hurt him to be labelled as "naughty" but he couldn't adequately express himself when he was younger and wasn't diagnosed with Aspergers until he was an adult.

I found it really moving to read.

Parenting Autism and Depression

I've been feeling a bit low lately, but found this really good article online that helped me to understand myself a bit better. I'm sharing it in the hope that it will help other autism parents like me.
