My daughter is autistic and 13. She is pretty high functioning and has started developing. There is another autistic boy in her class and they "like" each other. My d grabs his face and plants a big juicy kiss on his lips. The teacher tells me they have to watch them constantly because they are constantly tickling etc. We had no school today and she woke up and told me she dreamt of him. I think it is kinda sweet!

It is good that you are not condemning. What would YOUR mother have done? Ami

She probably wyoule have been very judgmental! I think it is cute. I think just because they have disabilities they still feel those feelings.

You have good common sense. Your children are lucky to have you! Ami

it's an issue comes up fairly frequently in my work Kelly, two seniors will fall in love. At one place it was a really passionate affair and the woman was still married to someone outside the facility and the man's mother lived there also! It was hard work for the staff to cater to everyone involved, but they did a beautiful job and not many months later both parties had a surge in their illness and became very sick. It seemed to me like a last flowering of romance...she used to sing Moon River with me and she had this pretty ending where we split into two parts. She's dead now, G_d rest her.
Love blooms everywhere it seems!

And why shouldn't these kids get to feel those feelings? Butterflies in your stomach.
