Hundreds and hundreds of romance novels like hidden at the back of my closet behind clothes.

And it was like literally in my 30s when I was like, you know, when you told me to stop reading romance novels, I didn't.

Yeah.

Oh, one of the toughest weeks of my life, I think, because my son is now 25.

And 23 years ago, like the landscape for autism was very different than it is now.

Like we didn't have a lot of the solutions.

We didn't have a lot of the supports, the waivers, the financial support, insurance.

Everything was considered experimental.

So you're paying out of pocket for everything.

And then I think there was just a lot we didn't know.

Like literally when the doctor diagnosed my son, he told me that –

I told my husband to give me time to grieve.

That's the word he used.

And he said, you know, motherhood is going to be just so different than what she thought it would be.

And it has been very different than I thought it would be.

I think, you know, autism is a spectrum and it looks different for different people.

And my son is different.

very impacted.

Even at 25, he's still only partially verbal.

And, you know, he kind of works at his own time.
