    It's hard for my youngest son Joshua to make and keep friends because his autism gets in the way. There's this neighbor boy who lives across the way who's asked to be Josh's friend. It's been so cool. They go out to play or he comes over to see Josh and hang out with him. Right now they're playing Mario Kart and gabbing together about the game. It's like my son has his own little Troy (that's a "Community" reference) and I'm stoked.

    Isn't it great for us parents to see things going well for our kids....it's all we really want isn't it ? I work with a Woman who has an Autistic Son who just graduated High School. She said she feels like someone should give her an award because it was a long haul getting him there. He had a graduation party at a restaurant because if it were held at home, she feared he'd just go down into the basement and sort of hide out. Instead, at the restaurant he greeted his guests and was outgoing and friendly and the party was a success . His Mom was on cloud Nine too.

    I agree, she should get an award. She must be very proud of her son.

    Everyone needs a friend. Especially a child who is autistic.
