Pleased for you both Nina
days ahead!
I am so wishing the same for a close family member not same problem ,but equally isolating.
You have given me a lttle bit of hope back
Nina that is good to hear! Another milestone. 
Thanks everyone. Glad you all understand how meaningful this is x
Yes Regalo a significant factor
What brilliant news nina, you must feel so proud of him. My son has had problems and worked hard at being more outgoing and getting some friends in the last couple of years. Before that he stayed in his room, depressed for about 2 years. I was out of my mind. Before that I home schooled him because he was assaulted 5 times in year 7.
So I am so pleased for you as I know how hard it is to stand by and watch them have no social life and find things difficult. Well done to all.
He must feel quite relaxed in their company...Fantastic news!
A good day for you both nina.
Nina its something we all wish for my 23yr old Nephew too.
Lovely, Nina, really pleased for you and yours.
Really pleased for both of you
How lovely for him to be doing such a completely normal thing, something most of us take for granted.
Hope it's just the first of many pub outings for him.
That's a huge step Nina
A lovely warm feeling, so pleased for him (and you)
That is so good. So wonderful that he is out there doing normal things. It might seem a small thing, but I can understand what this must mean to you.
Brilliant news Nina, chuffed for you, and son of course!
Nina as a grandmother of an autistic child myself I know exactly how happy you are. Long may it continue.
Nina That's good to hear. I hope it continues.

That is lovely news nina. These are the simple things that we all take for granted, but they're just so special for people like your son.
