From the time he was a toddler, we let Trevor do as much as possible for himself, such as dressing and making breakfast, just as we did with Briana. He was probably ahead of the average child in many areas, and always loved being independent. We gave him instruction where needed, but always expected him to do things for himself. This served him well as he grew up and he is now living on his own in a college residence hall.

While some people with ASD do not learn to drive, many are actually excellent drivers. Trevor had difficulty with the written test, so he was allowed to take the test with audit headphones as well as the usually video, which helped him to pass. He passed the driving portion on the first try and got his license at 16. His driving instructor's only criticism was that he sometimes "drove too slow." That would be music to any parent's ears!

As fathers, we innately have visions of our newborn children being the next Einstein, Lincoln, or Gehrig. Discovering your child has ASD can feel like cold water being thrown on your expectations. Raising a child with ASD means being more open to what success will look like for your child and realigning your expectations of him.

Those with ASD typically lag in speech and language progression. When Trevor was two years old he was barely saying 10 words, which was a stark contrast to Briana, who was rifling off entire sentences by age two. His comprehension was also delayed. He began private speech and language therapy at age two to help him interact using words.
