Oh no.

And so, um, so I really would like for people to have those tools in their hands so they can help, help their kids.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

It's crazy because the world is not built for us, really.

And we're not built for them.

They're not ready for us either.

But with my son, I guess a lot of his, you know, I just basically had to learn how to educate him.

And this sounds really strange, but educate teachers how to deal with my son and other people with autism.

And there's this great movie called Temple Grandin.

She's a real person with a Ph.D.

And so I would always give my teachers, my son's teachers, those movies so that they knew his potential because I didn't want him stuck in a corner.

while they taught the other kids to read because my child has an average IQ.

They always seem to look and treat him like he was intellectually disabled.

He's not intellectually disabled.

I have no idea why they, but it was crazy.

Then my daughter, which is so quiet, I felt like she kind of got neglected a little bit in this whole process because I was so focused on him.

But I will say she had a wonderful teacher background.

that pointed out the dyslexia to me.

And I didn't see it because whenever I was sitting down doing homework with her and she started to do something wrong, I would point it out to her and get her back on the right track.
