A Personal View of Autism
Working in the Birth-to-three population we work with a wide range of developmental disabilities and handicaps. Autism is one of the most challenging because... well, Autism is a mystery in many ways. There is no rhyme or reason right now which children will "get" Autism, nor why or how it happens. There are theories and speculations but at this time no concrete, definite, absolute, positive answers. What we do know is that early intervention is a key to helping many Autistic children be able to find strategies so that they can gain in many areas of their developmental skills.
We, as therapists, know the articles, the text book readings, and some of us have been lucky enough to work with children who have autism.. others may only know of it through what they read and see on TV. I wanted to share with you today an awesome video that was made by a mother of two wonderful boys, who of whom has Autism. It is a short video but it will touch your heart as you get a chance to see Autism on a more personal level... The mom who made the video has given anyone who would like to share it permission to share it - so please, if you feel so inclined, share this video with others and ask them to share ... pass it forward .. touch a heart while learning a little more about Autism...
The video is here: Brody Show. It is on UTube and so worth the 4 or 5 minutes it takes to view it - there is a wonderful song accompanying it so please be sure to have your volume turned on. Listen to the words of the song - they fit.. Oh boy, do they fit.
Thanks for stopping by... please let me know what your thoughts/feelings were on the video and if you think you might want to pass it forward...
