Thats really great and so important these days! I don’t talk about it much but our son was diagnosed on the autistic spectrum when he as 4yo - nothing specific but at 21 now seems to have mild asperger’s syndrome. He is amazing, has many friends, and is doing pretty well in college - on the nerdy/geeky/awkward side. Now he wants to work with children to help them too!

Respiratory Therapist. Take care of people on life support and with breathing difficulties. Lots of pressure and a high intensity job. I love what I do but I think the high demands have only aided in my self loathing and drinking problems.
