When he graduated high school he went to the local community college that had an autism support group. I began to see a lot of growth in him at that time.
He transferred to a 4 year university 12 hours from home, moved into the dorm with a group of other roommates, became active on the housing councils and this year is the President of one council. He has had a couple of girlfriends, is a member of the debating team and best of all--------GRADUATES IN 5 MORE WEEKS!
