“AUTISM AWARENESS IS WHEN YOU KNOW WHO I AM. AUTISM ACCEPTANCE IS WHEN YOU’RE GLAD TO SEE ME.”
December 7thwas my wife Kristen’s and my 10th wedding anniversary. Autism caused relationships to be a challenge for me. On dates, I had difficulty understanding social cues and filtering my comments. I had a friend mentor me on relationship skills, and after three years of mentoring and countless heartbreaks, I met my wife Kristen. Two years later we were married.
