On the spectrum

Watching "Love on the Spectrum" reminds me how complicated relationships can be. Turns out that autistic people have much the same problems with love that the rest of us do. I laughed and was moved by the awkward interactions, the shyness and silent pauses when both are looking down wondering what to say over dinner.

My son is very high functioning but some of these young people aren't and the angst surrounding their difficulty on communicating melts your heart. I am briefly taken back to my early twenties and somehow not feeling confident about my prospects.

These young people are so lovely and raw with their honesty that you can't help but feel every emotion they experience along with them.
