Dear Ms. Wright, Autism Speaks and any others out there who may read this…
I was going to blog my reaction to Ms. Wright’s statements (and still might), but this post said a lot of what I’m feeling. My son is 6, PDD-NOS, and reads at a 3rd grade level. This could have been us!
Catastrophizing doesn’t help! It doesn’t support, it doesn’t break down walls, it DOESN’T CHANGE ANYTHING! It throws up more barriers for our autistic friends and family to climb.
