have 2 boys with high functioning autism

 I will watch the show tuesday. I have 2 boys with autism. The oldest is 14 and the youngest is 9.  My 9 year old has rages also but not to the extent the boy on the show appears to have.  There are days when i wonder if we will make it but we do.  I wondered if their son was ever checked for seizures which is not uncommon in autistic children.  My youngest was diagnosed with seizures over  2  years ago and when we got them under better control, a lot of his rages subsided.  We still have bad days but  more good than bad now. My oldest is the quiet one, more comfortable with adults than teenagers and will always be socially ackward, but the progress he has made since being diagnosed at age 3 is remarkable. It's not an easy journey but I am proud of my boys and feel blessed to have them.
