Realized something today...

Some feel that autistic children can't express love. Some can and some can't (well they can't in the obvious manner but there are other ways in which they can). My little man is so much better at expressing love then he used to be, that said I did realize today that he can give me kisses very easily however I need to ask for them. (Even then it isn't 100% of the time). He doesn't just come to me to express his love with a smooch. He def can show effection with a hug on his own but kisses need to be asked for. It's common for ASD people to struggle with innitiation so this makes sense. Am curious if this is just age appropraite with a typical child or if this is part of and all connected to the struggles of ASD. Think I will ask around to see what others get with their children of the same age. Will update later!
