I'm really surprised that I had so few people who responded on my autism post about my daughter.

“I really thought it would be a helpful thing. Unfortunately, I think it's just too long that people don't want to read it all. I can't blame them, but I felt it was needed to give people enough information to understand why I'm so very frustrated..”
