Actually ummmm, surprisingly well. The little boy can be a bit of a handful (and I am not used to dealing with severe autism so its a big learning curve). I get on great with the girl, but her fussy eating habits drive me insane. There is something wrong with absolutely EVERYTHING I cook and she wears this sullen grumpy expression and just pushes it round her plate. Cos her dad is so indulgent, she then gets a second meal cooked for her. Frankly, when we were kids, we ate what we were told to eat. But those are the two minor problems in an otherwise good relationship.
That's good. My son has austism, only mild, but he's bloody hard work at times. Especially with his temper and he gets obsessed with really trivial things that people do. He eats well though so that's something. They all eat well actually...I've been lucky with that one.
Do they live with him full time?

No they don't live with him full time, we have them every other weekend from Friday to Monday and then a night or two during the week (complicated bloody formula and I never know which it is).
I'm learning though - its as much a shock for them as it is for me but we seem to be tinkering along quite happily. And I'm very lucky really because they are lovely children - I could have met someone with total little horrors.
What has amazed us both though is that the little boy HATES animals - won't have anything to do with them. But he absolutely loves my old lady cat and she appears to feel the same about him. Completely inseparable when he is here.
