I am adopting a child, by preference ASD 1 with no intellectual impairment so that he has the same profile as me. They just randomly told me there probably won't be wait a time in my case because nobody wants autistic children, even if the level is barely detectable and they could have a completely normal life.

Also, we have to complete a preparatory course as part of the process, which mainly serves to convince more people that it's okay to adopt someone else than a 100% healthy yt girl who was born yesterday.

The questions about traumatized and ND kids that people have..."but what if the child will be quiet???" i don't know sharon, let them f_cking be quiet if they want to? jesus

I swear if I ever cared about NT problems I no longer do

I am talking like friends who are not the close level of friendship where you can send random memes because you know which ones will land well.

I mean when you don't know each other for too long, so you have to remember to send them something interesting every once in a while and also monitor if they are doing the same so that you know if it turns one-sided.

Why does this feel like such a brain-screwing labour? Even when you have enough in common and once you start talking, there is enough to talk about?

Anyone has any tricks to make this feel easier?
