During our last years of homeschooling, we suspected that we were dealing with challenges we weren’t equipped to handle on our own.
We began to recognize signs that would be considered high-functioning Autism (also known as Asperger) in our son’s learning ability.

Once we accepted that his brain processes differently, everything started to make sense. For years as parents, we tried to make our son model what we considered typical childhood behavior, but he didn’t fit the standard mold—still doesn’t to this day.
No amount of misplaced parental pressure transformed him to be somebody he wasn’t.
