Hmmm... there's probably a parent group for Asperger's/high-functioning autistic kids somewhere in the SF Bay area, we just haven't found them yet. That would be the best place to find trades for David, granted.
I wasn't reproaching myself about the church community... at the time, I was annoyed with them. Pat had put in hundreds of hours of volunteer work, taught classes, carried meals and visited others during crises... but when she had a tough time, the response was minimal for her. Granted, pastoral care is not a strong suit of that parish, but... I did wonder then if the lack of interest in helping Pat pertained to my being seen as too weird or strange, but dismissed the thought.
