Would it be appropriate for a twenty year old boy on the spectrum? Details? Anyone going/taking someone?
@ Phoebe:
I’m sure you did not mean any offense but I do have to wonder, would you refer to a mainstream, normal twenty-year-old male as a “boy”? Wouldn’t ‘young man’ be more appropriate?
(Even if logical, as per my understanding that adolescence continues into the early twenties.)
