Wow, so many stereotypes and misconceptions in that Quora comment. Thanks for speaking up!

As a person with autism, I took in and raised a kid with multiple mental health diagnoses and challenges, and my autism in no way made me emotionally unavailable to him.

In fact, my partner and I provided the sort of close emotional support and love that he says had always been missing from his life. With our help, he healed from a traumatic childhood and went on to a good life that all the experts predicted would be impossible for him.

I wish people would stop stereotyping and judging.
