What Autism May Feel Like

I can't pretend to know what it feels like dealing with a sensory processing issue, but from spending time with autistic people, I can start to get a bit of an idea. I know I can attest to feeling overwhelmed, dizzy and anxious the very first time I was in New York's Time Square. So imagine every day feeling like Times Square and not being able to leave...sounds horrible.

This video from Upworthy.com (I've linked to them before, they post some really good videos!) is trying to give people insight into how an autistic sees the world. Take a look and warning, don't be surprised if it makes you cry!

A Mother and Son Conversation

Watch this video to listen to a beautiful interview between a son and his mother.

It's simply sweet. The son happens to have Asperger's but that's not what makes it precious to me. It's the fact they can be so open and frank with each other. I hope to be able to speak with the Little Man like this, especially when he becomes a teen.
