My 6ft tall great grandmother would have scrubbed the toilet with that shrimp.
Hey, you know what they say about our generation: At the age of 10 we were 30, and now at 50 we're still 30.
My son was diagnosed before he even turned 3 and his younger sister was being assessed, both of them are non-verbal. What I was learning about it put so many things from my entire childhood and youth in perspective and everything finally made sense, so I consulted and sure enough was diagnosed myself. My parents refused to accept it, they said I'm making excuses to not act "normally" and have cut all contact. I made my peace with that and am grateful about it, I no longer have to tolerate toxic people demeaning me for who I am, and my children sure don't deserve that.
Don't try to connect from where you are. Reach him where he is. Learn his language, and learn to think like him, and don't force it. Remember that it is as hard for him to connect with others as it is for you to connect with him, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to or care.

Because this needs to be done 1000% right, there is no margin for error, everything has to be done in an iron clad manner that cannot be dismantled by half-assing it. Indicting a former president is a first in the history of this country, and this former president is nothing short of a cult leader with millions of unshakable followers, many of whom are armed to the teeth and ready to burn this country to the ground for him. So this has to be done very friggin carefully.

Anyone ever watched the CBC mini series H2O ?
Canada has about 10% of our neighbour's population count, while flushed with natural resources they are running out of starting with clean water. If they go full far right, we become 51.
