She explained that she already had two children, aged 8 and 10, and described his family as “a mess”. She wrote that although he had been asking her out for months, he was “understandably involved in the price of living with him these days.”

Describing them as “caring young people,” she explained, “This 17-year-old boy is autistic and has significant difficulties (mainly personal hygiene, overeating, dysfunction, being at home 24/7) No friends to talk to), fixed requests to play/draw/watch TV with him), but he’s a kind, relaxed soul.”
Explaining that she works from home, she describes a scene, “4 extra washes, fixed noise, no expected meals, all the mess, no alone time. (I work from home to make money, so when my DC is in class, I thrive when I remain silent).”
