10. This is so wonderful

When my son was diagnosed in 1996 with autism I always had to explain what autism was to adults and children. As the years progressed I no longer had to explain. When I apologized for my son and said he had autism more people told me they had a relative or neighbor or a co worker who had a child with autism. We took our son to Mexico and I would apologize and say he had autism even there people understood and said no problem.

I love that they are educating children now at an early age about autism. I am sad though pbs is being defended though. Such a cruel cute (of course one of many).
