Thank you, that helps at lot. My son is diagnosed, my father is not, but obviously has AS. My mother has told me I have always been a lot like my son. I figure at this point, I probably have it. But I keep trying to figure out what that means. I wonder if it really means that I learn how to do social things much older than others because I teach them to myself. Right now, I feel like I am understanding small nuances of things that many people noticed ages ago, but I think as an adult it doesn't seem as odd because of the age homogenity. Anyways, I watch my son become frustrated, unable to speak, and stressed and I know that is a moment like the one I had at the curb.
