This blog has multiple authors, all about autism and how much it sucks. Mostly, it was inspired by a friend who was feeling alone. I know there are a lot of us out there, so let's band together and support one another.
My vision for this blog is to have anyone who wants to write about how it is to live with autism. Just email me (link located in sidebar of blog) and I will add you
Today, we just hit All-Top! Come see!

TLCYou don't mention your age, Matthew, and I am not sure you will get this. Still, I wanted to point out that not all the statistics are grim.
