Hey Steve,
humbling......just humbling.....and yeah, I just showed my wife this trailer and we both welled up something awful. I've worked with children/adolescents my entire career as a psychotherapist, but those that have suffered primarily from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from a myriad of reasons.....death, rape, abuse, 9/11.....you name it. Quite a number of mountains I have climbed together with these innocent kids, and I have remembered each and every one whether or not they healed during my time with them.
But autism.....so much misunderstood and so much ground not covered. My God. At least with other disorders, there is a hint or a link of some kind that gives us a foundation to work on......something to work with. But with autism, it's like starting out on a voyage blindfolded and then someone removes the blindfold....leaving you to wonder "where do i go from here" because you don't know how you got there and you don't have a map to go any further. My heart bleeds, both as a professional and as a father of two, for those families afflicted.
I know you nothing more than as an alterna connosieur and an occasional wise-guy (intended with good humor of course...), but if this post you made is something of a personal sort, God bless and God speed my friend. You have an extended family right here.
