As usual, the media downplays the significance of that event with this headline. He didn’t just “kiss” her. He forced himself upon her. There is a difference.
Americans also don’t eat off the floor.
In graduate school I swabbed a public toilet seat and wiped the specimen in a Petri dish. My cohort swabbed the bottom of their shoe and did the same. The public toilet specimen grew virtually nothing. The shoe specimen grew the equivalent of a rainforest in bacteria.
You took a good first step and are reaching out. Can you find a support group for autistic adults? Maybe check with your local ABA clinic/center? Some colleges now offer programs for autistic individuals; perhaps you can connect with someone there? I feel for you, but you sound like you’re off to a better start than you realize. You see the issues and you’re fighting for your son. Kudos young man!!
