Recently we are dealing with him being newly diagnosed with autism. Can anyone give me tips how to cope?
Thank you,

Jennifer,
I read your post with interest. My 30 year old son was just recently (2 weeks ago) diagnosed with Autism Spectrum DIsorder. I always wondered why he never had a girlfriend or seemed to show any interest. I am wondering how you and your husband met? I would love for my son to find someone understanding. His entire social life is centered only in the gym, weight lifting, etc. But now with Covid-19 the gym closed March 12 while we were there. Still closed. But even at the gym, his interactions with others were only about fitness, nothing else.
