Me, too!

I have a family member who falls into the Autism Spectrum, and his father was getting a bit impatient with the fact that he was pushing 30 and was still exhibiting some behaviors like a teenager. And the "growing a new leg" analogy was the same one that the mother used to describe to the father how their son was not going to develop in the same areas as others. Fortunately, it opened the father's eyes and his patience grew, and he also acknowledged the areas in which his son excelled. So there is hope for people to learn about those of us who have a few extra obstacles in our paths.
