Nate is getting to know himself, which is good. One of his calls last wk, was to say that he felt he should hold off on moving onto a different job, until after the roommate situation is settled. I thought this was wise of him & told him so. Changes are extremely difficult for him. His boss wants to get him into a job in the " real world. " That is going to be a huge step.
Right now, the man in charge of his team, is making plans to get Nate a new roommate. He met Eric, a fellow special educ student from high school & they live in the same apartment complex. They have become close & get along nicely. Eric doesn't get along with his roommate, for the same reason that Nate doesn't get along with his. Eric & Nate talk a LOT, their roommates are very quiet. The head of Nate's team is going to try to get a switch going on, but first the other men have to meet & find out if they are compatible. Nate & Eric have been getting together for about 2 months now. I will keep you updated on this.
Next blog posting will be from Nate's sister, Abigail, then I will start to get more info on Asperger's, itself, as I keep up with posts with Nate's life. My goal is to be able to reach people who have family members with Asperger's & to educate people on this condition.

This is very unique blog. Blogging is great. Keep writing.
Hi Patricia...
You are an Amazing woman, a Wonderful mother and an Incredible teacher. Despite any challenges you have caring for your son, you approach it with much love, understanding and incredible patience. We have a daughter who was born 3 months early and because of her premature birth has many medical challenges. Each day is a blessing to have her in our lives. She's taught us the true meaning of patience and unconditional love. Take one day at a time. Small advances are still steps in the right direction. Continue to be patient and shower him with your undying love. Everything you're already doing.
We've enjoyed your blog and am looking forward to finding out what's ahead in Nate's journey.
Sending much love to you and your family.
Many Blessings....Roxanne & Hugo
Thank you for sharing your story of your son Nate who has Aspergers!
It is a heart warming story of challenges, a few defeats but victories also.
The site outlines the difficulties of dealing with a adult child who has Asperger's which is a form of Autism.
Keep up the good work!
Best Regards
Pete Baca
