#Autism does not mean less of a person

We had to run some errands this afternoon. As we were pulling off the freeway and stopped at a red light waiting to turn, Elliott noticed something. Elliott noticed that there was a man standing on the corner holding a sign. The sign said, anything helps. Elliott peppered me with questions as to what that meant and I explained that some people have much less than we do.

Do people really care about your children? Enough of all the disapproving stares from strangers, and condescending attitude of friends and relatives. Don’t even mention all the nice talk on TV, from schools, and just about everywhere except the people in your neighborhood. They go on about hitting of children as child abuse.
