We all love to see the stories of people with autism who are exceptionally bright or who have a savant ability. We are encouraged when we see people with autism who become very successful.
We need to see those stories but we need to balance them with the other side of autism.
In this video, you see a mother trying to comfort her daughter who is having a meltdown. We have had many experiences like this. It is never easy.
If you are church that wants to welcome families with autism, realize that this is one of the reasons why some parents are hesitant to attend church.
