An Autistic Girl at McDonalds

I was just at McDonalds for lunch and there was a large group in the dining area – a couple of adults and about seven kids. Yet even before glancing over at them or giving them any sort of attention or acknowledgement, I knew that at least one of them was special needs and more than likely autistic.

It was the stimming.

Autistic Speech

There was a time when my wife and I thought we had lost our son forever. Autism has taken so much from our son and there were times we worried if he’d ever talk or communicate.

Holy crap were we proven wrong on that one!
