So uh very often when not all my workshops, but very often when I give a workshop I have a slide um that basically says um if

I'm trying to think of the exact wording, but it has something to do with has having an autistic person in your life.

Enhanced your life.

and enhanced your personal growth more than it has presented a challenge.

And every hand in the roof goes up.

Even even the parents who ki will come up to me afterwards and say

You know, my kid has a lot of a lot of meltdowns, he keeps us up at night, he has a sleep disorder.

There are a lot of challenges, but when you asked that question and I gave a thought to it, it was like absolutely

take away more from the experience of having this autistic child or family member than it is than it causes problems in my life.

And we're still working on it, yeah.

One of my very first articles in nineteen eighty three

Um uh uh language and communicative behavior and autism toward an understanding of the whole of it.
