I used to work with children on the spectrum. Many of them are damaged for life. There are kids who can barely function. One I worked with couldn’t even move from one place to another. He had severe difficulties with transitions. Just moving from one room to another was difficult. I felt so badly for his parents and what they had to deal with. He was so difficult to work with. I only saw him for an hour and that was enough for me. Consider yourself fortunate for having just a touch of it. There are many more who are severely impaired.
