| Sorry to hear about this. Won't lie to you the change will be hard, and money will be tight. His job search is something he has to do and not something you can do for him. You need to deal with whatever changes do actually occur not spend precious energy trying to figure out what changes might occur... |

| redrobin62 do you already have an autistic label? If you do it will automatically stay, just a different name. Those who can diagnose might still use the last diagnostic manual. His original Aspergers diagnoses has been renamed. I doubt that would affect new diagnoses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... |

| It hurts the most when kids ask out without any inhibitions. It's quite the opposite for me. I find their straightforwardness and genuine, non-judgmental curiosity refreshing. What I hate is when adults judge you without knowing anything about you other than the abnormalities you display, and then ... |
