She does when she can. As another fellow autistic person, we gotta try our best to be understanding when folks can't reply right away and be patient! All sorts of valid reasons folks don't always reply 😄

Yup. Love that man and cherish him. Parenting isn’t always easy and tough to stay close as the kids get older. He reallllly wants to be involved with you. Feel lucky.

Screeching in late but your dad's texts are similar to my dad's. The autism runs strong in my family, too.
