My Son Loves Pink, and I have Zero Problems with that.
I will start by saying that my youngest son is among the most extraordinary person I've ever met. Since he was born, we can see that he was just different. One year ago, he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with sensory processing disorder (SPD), seeking type (he loves to seek sensory input). He lacks eye contact, always hums, runs in circles, wiggles a lot, and mostly plays alone or beside his brother. He is very independent. At four years old, he can eat by himself, put together a 100-piece puzzle, knows the alphabet, remembers all the colors of his favorite characters while coloring, loves to sing, and can laugh at any joke, especially if it's about farts.

Generation X is the Worst
Born in 1993, I am one of those “sensitive” Millenials. Two Gen X parents raised me. Well, kind of. My parents got divorced in 1999 and in the cruelest way. The week before their divorce became official, we went on a weekend vacation in a hotel near the beach. My parents dedicated much of their time to me; we took pictures by the pool and everything. The only time I still remember, we looked like a family.
