Autism Kids: The Good News And The Bad News About Your Child's Gifts and Sensitivities [2019]

If you are a parent of a child with autism, today I'm going to share with you some really really GOOD news about YOUR child with autism;
I'm also going to share with you some BAD news.
And why is this important?
Because if you understand what I'm going to talk about today, you can DRAMATICALLY improve your relationship with your child with autism.
So let's talk about the GOOD NEWS about autism kids...
Number 1:
YOUR Child with Autism is Special!
And I'm not just talking about a "special needs" terminology, I'm talking about "SPECIAL" in a really important way.
Your child with autism is wired DIFFERENTLY, now this is really important to understand because we keep trying to make these autism kids be more normal, and we're getting in all WRONG!
What we want to do, is help CULTIVATE the differences and the strengths, and the unique talents in our children.
Frontiers in Neuroscience is a journal that published an article called "The Intense World Syndrome", and they basically talked about the autistic brain, pathways and neurotransmitters, and how there is quite a BIG DIFFERENCE in the autistic brain vs. the non-autistic brain.
I'm bringing this up because it highlights that the brain of an autism kid is wired VERY DIFFERENTLY, and I' going to get to why that's important shortly.
Martha Herbert is a physician and assistant professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, and she has done a lot of work with the autistic kids brain and its neurobiology, her work is really at the forefront when it comes to understanding just how different the brains of autistic children and individuals are, and why it's important; not only it's important because we can help them with their challenges, but also why it's important because autism kids have these AMAZING GIFTS.
And this leads me to the next piece of the good news...
Number 2:
YOUR Child with Autism has a GIFT!
Now, we know that ALL CHILDREN have gifts, I totally believe that, and your autism kid has a very particular GIFT...
And that comes from experiencing the world with a different set of filters, in a different way than you an I do.
Now what do I mean by that:
SENSES... autism kids senses are hyper aware, they have exquisite sound abilities, visual abilities, and they can be very sensitive to smells, tastes and touch, which CAN be a challenge, but stick with me if you really understand what your child is experiencing, then you can HONE IN on what their gift may be and what you can do to help them cultivate that.
So far we have described A SPECIAL CHILD with a GIFT...
Are you with me?
Now, this next point may sound really bold, and a lot of you parents may be incredulous, but the next point (and the most important one) is:
THEY REALLY DO HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO HUMANITY, AND TO HAVE A BIG IMPACT.
