My son is autistic. Once being moisturized became his job, he didn’t see the need for it on those ashy legs. He might do it if I reminded him. When he started working and bought himself a fancy pair of “Jordans,” I had to object. Boy! You cannot wear Jordans and have ashy legs! We will have to revoke your “black card.”

I found it amazing how being raised by black parents, had very little to do with his choices. He was his own individual self…with no rhythm. 😊 And he is now an incredible young man.

Btw…I’m new here. I found you from the “Cookout” post. Thank you for that.
