RE: Autism Parenting Tips

Brains are interesting things.

I think my brother could benefit from talking to you. He volunteers as a "mentor," for some late teens autistic kids. He's always "trying to figure it out," and I can't blame him. I would be too.

Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your life! If you ever have any $5 Starbucks cards dangling around collecting dust, I'll put them to use for ya.

Yep, figuring them out is always on our mind. Every new behavior, good or bad, seems to indicate some part of the puzzle. Like, just yesterday, Ben started saying, "Speed. I am speed."

This is new behavior, in a general sense. He never quotes movies. But he absolutely adores Lightning McQueen. He's always holding his matchbox mcqueen car.
