Arby’s
My wife and I have three adult children on the autism spectrum. Feeding everyone in the house is difficult at best. Our oldest likes things plain. If it’s got sauce or gravy on it he will complain about having to remove it and sometimes refuse to eat the the submerged food altogether. Our next son…

I believe in God. I believe His primary characteristics are eternal love and limitless wisdom. I believe that a person’s first duty in life is to love and obey God. I believe each one of us, because of our finite and imperfect nature, must continually seek to know and do His will and draw closer…
