I found this video, about dealing with Austism Every Day, very touching.

This video it very extreme and I think it doesn't give the spectrum of autism. My kid is on the spectrum and is not like those kids. I feel like it gives people the wrong idea. When I first had questions about Saxon's delays I mentioned Autism because he was obsessed with letters and numbers and knew his abc's at 18 months but didn't say mama. The doctor looked at him and since he didn't look like the kids on that video our diagnosis was delayed and we started our intervention much later. So we lost valuable time.

Just my opinion.
