Hard to say... it's been so gradual that I don't know if I could pinpoint it tbh, or even tell you a point where it started to get "better" He still gets small blocks when he's overtired, but yeah, it's been so gradual. All I can say is don't panic. I know that feeling. One day at a time, be supportive, and don't force it. The thing I realized, and was very helpful, was that if this was the life he was going to navigate, that was the life I'd have to prepare him for. I know how urgent it all feels right now, but don't panic. Do your best to be patient and supportive, but also accept that it will be what it will be, and it's not the end of the world. Everybody has their "thing" and we're all just doing the best we can with what we have.
