Most people think of Rain Man when autism is mentioned. Rain Man is a movie with a happy ending. Jarred's script is being written. The ending is still a mystery. The plot thickens daily.
Autism is a developmental disability.
People with autism have a different way of seeing, hearing, and feeling things. They have a problem with part of their brain. One brochure aptly defined autism as like living in a foreign country where you don't know the language or like playing a very difficult game without knowing the rules. Little Jarred is five years old, living in Brewton, not knowing the local language, and playing the complex game of daily living, not knowing the rules. Jarred has his own language.
