Hi Everyone ! I Would Like To Get In Touch With Likeminded People(families, Parents) Who Can Be Friends In My Very Difficult Journey

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Mission Viejo, CA

I have a 27 year old daughter under autism living with me in southern Orange County in California, who has behavioral issues and it got worse after my husband’s death in Covid. I am struggling very much in every way. Please contact if you can. I would like to be in touch with people with kind hearts who can be friends, we really don’t have family friends here!
