I have two autistic sons, aged 20 and 22. My older son socializes within his special needs group but struggles with conversations and breakdowns. Life's complexities exceed his understanding, making him vulnerable to manipulation due to his trust in others.
My younger son has seizures, is nonverbal, and has a heart monitor implanted, requiring lifelong monitoring.
Both are kind but vulnerable adults who cannot live independently. My greatest fear is that when their mother and I are gone, no one will protect them.
Many claim autism for sympathy while holding jobs, relationships, and driver's licenses, functioning in society. It feels like some treat autism as a fashion statement, seeking uniqueness.
@LunaBean111@KeruboSk Even though submissive and submitting are similar, terms they’re not mutually exclusive. Generally speaking, men aren’t obsessed with women submitting. They’re obsessed with controlling everything.
