I have read part of that article ... and I think to myself ... “What goes on inside his head?” ... which is exactly the same thing I say here, at home. I’m constantly trying to figure out, “What goes on in his head,” while at the same time, letting him be who he wants to be.
i do not have an autistic child, but Ron Suskind’s writing gives such a window into that world. i had originally read the article on my phone and so i didn’t see the video imbedded in the article. so i just watched that now and am bawling all over again.
Ron Suskind is the uncle of one of my son’s hockey team mates at Syracuse, which is how we came to read the article.
