THEY ASKED US TO LEAVE ARIZONA SCIENCE CENTER | Guiding autism family vlog
Channel: Guiding Autism
Date: 2018-05-23

This was not the ballet, opera, or a theatrical play, it was at a children's science center. One thing I forgot to discuss in this vlog is that I would never purposely ruin everyone else's experience. If this was a situation where she was melting down, or stimming loudly we would excuse ourselves, but that was not the situation. She was making sounds, but not loudly and the show had not begun.

Parents of special needs children are often accustomed to looks, stares, questions and maybe even some comments. However, this was the first time I was left feeling completely unwelcome. It breaks my heart to think Samara would be completely left out of an opportunity other children experience every day because she makes sounds that she cannot control.  
My hope for the future is for acceptance, inclusion, and kindness to spread like wildfire in this world as our kiddos, and they are many,  enter adulthood.

"RDI® is a significant departure from traditional ASD interventions, and does not simply seek to mask the condition with scripted conversations or rehearsed behaviors. Our model allows for neuro-cognitive changes to occur over time that provide the individual with the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges on their own. By developing this capacity for dynamic thinking, we open the door to the possibility of a greater quality of life that includes: reciprocal communication, genuine friendships, confident, independent living, prolonged relationships and meaningful employment"
