Provide Safety and Foster Independence by Answering Your Autistic Loved One’s Many Questions
“Why do we do it this way?” “Why is everyone mad?” “What does this mean?” “What did I do wrong?” As an autistic/ADHD person, I’m both a bottom-up thinker and an explicit learner, so the way I learn new information is by asking lots of questions and getting detailed explanations in response. The more details I receive, the better chance I have of forming a complete picture in my head of what’s expected of me–and being able to carry out that task.

What My Mother-In-Law Gave Me
I knew my father-in-law liked me the moment he saw me. He was sitting at his computer desk when his son introduced me to him. He glanced at me over his shoulder and then dropped his mouse and swiveled around, giving me his full attention. Contrary-wise, my mother-in-law did not look at me. She looked at everything and everyone but me. It seemed like she was too preoccupied to notice that her son was trying to introduce a girl to her.

The Warehouse
My father's sister, Louise, lived five hours away with her husband John. They lived in a semi renovated warehouse in a town called Valencia. They owned Fox's Antiques, and ran their store out of the basement of the warehouse. Upstairs were my cousins' bedrooms, two living rooms, kitchen, and dining room. In the back of the house was a giant room with odds and ends, and behind that room was my Uncle John's studio. He was, and is, a painter and poet. A third floor reached by an alarmingly open iron, twisting staircase, was where they had their room.
