This post was an eye opener for me as a parent of someone with autism. My wife tells me I am very patient, more than most, but this post mskes me all the more determined to make sure that any teaching/discipline is done lovingly and not in anger. Being human its easy to let frustration creep in or your own mood affect how you handle matters.

Parenting.....it really is harder than I ever imagined...and my oldest is 18....
