Six, that I can think of off the top of my head...
The number of children with an autism spectrum diagnosis, who are the son of a classmate from my high school alamata.
Three cousins on my husband's side of the family... All boys again.
Two on our street. One girl this time.
Countless faces and families.
I see them at speech and occupational therapy. Mostly boys, but some girls too.
Sometimes we run into them at church in the cry room.
Many places... Some are more obvious, and others I'm not for certain are ASD.
But the classmates from my hopeful youthful days, those long ago friends and acquaintances who now share in this experience, are causing a whole new sense of awareness.
And I want to know, why?
How?
What will their future hold?
