It goes against the grain. If these autistic children were behaving as Anna did, and were of kindergarten age or younger, would they be treated in this manner by their carers? Just a thought...

Nancy. they are both encouraging and profoundly sad. How much time have these individuals had to endure before contact has been made? It is even more disturbing when you consider that time for children can seem endless when living through something seen as unpleasant. I remember leaving my own child Grace, at the age of 3, at a daycare centre for 5 hours. On my return the supervisors informed me that she had cried the whole time. I was horrified, why hadn't they called? I was struck then by a memory of childhood, of how time seemed to stretch when I felt abandoned or invisible. It is excruciating to have it pointed out that people are living entire lives in this state. We do indeed need to make changes within ourselves to be more inclusive of individuals with autism. It can't just stop with the parents, who no doubt would love nothing more than to reach out to their children. We all need some skills. I just read the 2 most recent additions to your site.

I get a real sense of where you are coming from and am left waiting impatiently for more insights and more amazing characters to get to know.
