"Autism Every Day" a new short film

Don't know if you all caught this on the "autism speaks" newsletter, but I just watched it and felt it was incredible. I wish there were a way more people could see this. The feelings these women express are so familiar and true.
(I know it must seem like all I do is web surf, I guess once in PR always in PR!)

Thanks for posting that. It got to me, too. My situation isn't as challenging as what was shown - but I still have days where my ds will have several melt-downs and I get so darn tired. There are some things my ds doesn't handle well or things he won't do, but there is so much he does do and he is fairly good at speaking - though he still has times he will talk and talk about bizarre things. It was good to be reminded of the progress my ds has made and what he can do!
I hope more people out there will see movies like this - I think it could help so much if the people we come into contact with had a better idea of what it is parents of ASD kids deal with.
