I live in desoto and I see 2 adults with autism or special needs in the neighborhood. They both ride bikes and seem to be out on their own doing activities. I have never saw/heard of any incidents of anyone treating them poorly. I don’t think most villagers would tolerate such a thing either. There are over 3,000 clubs and if you check probably one for autism. I think your son would be just as comfortable here as any other neighborhood.
