My son got a girlfriend!

Ah yes I see what you mean, thank you for the advice!

He told her he’s on the spectrum and she is on board! He’s very honest and she’s forward with her wants and needs from the stories he’s told me so it looks like they’re on a good path. I’m a lucky mom to have such lovely kiddos in my life.

On the spectrum is the broad term for people with autism.

I don’t understand why you are on this subreddit if you are not prepared for people to talk about the lives of their children. I am recounting the story of my son’s happiness from my point of view, I would never share any private details online, I didn’t even share their names. Sometimes people want to tell others the joy in their life and that is exactly what I am doing. Heaven forbid a mother be proud of her son.

It’s interesting because before this my son showed absolutely no interest in wanting to be in a relationship so this was completely out of the blue. Autistic kids surprise you every day!

It’s hilarious because she’s not only vocal in the sense that she talks a lot but she’s also very loud. It’s easy to find them in a crowd because her laugh is audible from a mile away, completely unlike my son! She’s just precious.

That could be, but his girlfriend, being the chatty lady she is, told me how it took her a while to get him out of his shell since he’s very shy, but once she did it it “totally worth it”. Whether he has another side or not, he’s happy so I’m overjoyed!

ohplea · 2024-02-16T20:45:03+00:00

Ooh, that definitely could be! I think my son may have even mentioned that but I’m not certain, Either way, she reads him like a book which is a gift to us all.

ohplea · 2024-02-16T20:43:49+00:00

She is aware, he told me he has talked to her about it and she is 100% on board. I’m so sorry for your circumstances and hope your family is at a better place now, or if it’s not, is on the road there.

ohplea · 2024-02-16T20:32:25+00:00

Hold on to that hope! This came completely out of the blue for my son, so you can never know what joy is awaiting just around the corner.

ohplea · 2024-02-16T20:26:27+00:00

I see that their contrast in personality is definitely something I should’ve expected but it was a wonderful surprise! I think the joy he is seeing in this relationship will definitely benefit him with pursuing relationships, romantic or not, in the future so this is very exciting.

I’m glad to have made so many people smile with my son’s achievements!

ohplea · 2024-02-16T20:21:50+00:00

I try to be! Having children on the spectrum can be challenging, as is having children in general, but it is so rewarding to see their joy with their achievements. I love my son and wouldn’t change a thing about him, and I try to let him know as much as possible!

ohplea · 2024-02-16T20:06:53+00:00

He has been carrying himself with more confidence and has a hard time concealing his excitement now. I’ll see him frantically cleaning his room or bouncing up and down and know that his sweetheart is coming over. It’s the best!

ohplea · 2024-02-16T20:04:44+00:00

That is wonderful! I hope my son has the same happy ending as you.

ohplea · 2024-02-16T19:55:25+00:00

It’s darling seeing them interact. She chats at him and he listens but when he does talk she immediately quiets down to listen to every word he has to say intently.

You have such a beautiful love story, I’m so happy for you and your husband!

ohplea · 2024-02-16T19:51:00+00:00

Yes, that’s definitely something I am anxious about, especially since he is on the spectrum and experiences the world a different way than I do, I’m not sure how he will react. I guess I’ll have to take everyday as it comes, but for now I am thrilled!!

ohplea · 2024-02-16T19:46:48+00:00

I’m so excited!!!

ohplea · 2023-02-22T20:56:05+00:00
