My 9 year old is also on the spectrum
He is high functioning, so with the right support, he should be able to live a pretty normal/productive life. However, I do worry about him a lot--especially socially. He functions just fine at home with his brothers, but outside of the home is a different story. He gets a lot of anxiety in social/school settings and it sometimes manifests itself in weird ways (i.e. scratching itches on his skin until open sores form, etc.) He's very smart, but he sometimes really struggles inside of the traditional school format. As long as whatever he chooses to do involves dinosaurs (he has a savant-level knowledge of dinosaurs), he should be just fine.
