They are a blessing in return, it sounds. especially if they get you out to ... what is it called? where the rides are. and go to ... place where you fix your own plate. dang, words are escaping me today.

I thought of them (you had mentioned their issues) when I waxed about the Capital Hill of Denver awhile back. It is an excellent place, and one of not too many, where you can get by well not driving and do all you need, including eating out and part, and a real grocery, not a corner store with canned spagetti and a few things.

my eldest sister is sight impaired and lives in Austin. they have good services there. but tho she has available rides, I prefer something like Denver with walking places to eat, the park, hang out places (I like pool and found a very fun spot to shoot).

when you don't drive, really have to look into living places and what is available.

My son is near genius autistic

autisim makes life more difficult in many ways, certainly in dealing with the rest of the population... but it is surprising (or not) how many are genius, near genius, high intelligence, focused intelligence in a certain area...etc. sometimes something is so highly tuned in one part of the brain, other parts are 'ignored'. or something like that. perhaps.

if a parent like you sees the tuned in parts and works with that and not focus on whatever it is that keeps an autistic from perhaps not quite 'fitting in'... makes such a difference.

being 'normal' might make life simpler in ways. beyond that?

waxing here. if I what I've said is out of place or silly, apologies. it's just something I've pondered on often.
