Discovering someone in your family has autism can become a transforational growth experience. My nephew is autistic. My family started the Schafer Autism Report about 14 years ago. Our response to what the outer world offers us is to become helpful to others with the same issue. I co-facilitate a cancer support group for the Leukemia & Lymphomia Society. I also teach stress management fort he Navy Reserves. It doesn't matter what the stressor is, what works is all the same. I was suprised to discover that when I used personal use of self and talked about autism, the number of reservists who had special needs childern spoke up. The problems I grappled with in the past are now my strenghs and empowers me to help others.
