Hi, I have a 6yr old nephew who has high functioning autism. He is very smart, talks well, VERY VERY loving, and has even graduated from some of his therapy. The only way you could tell he has autism is he still sounds like a 3 to 4 year old when he talks and he mimics everything from his gamecube/playstation. He doesn't have the social capablity to where a normal 6 year old could relate to him though.

My question is does anyone out there have a child like Micah, who is now older. I am just worried about how his adulthood will be, will he be able to be married hold a job? Like a normal person would?

THanks!
