She knew that I was upset because she could see that I had been crying. When she asked me what was the matter, I told her I was sad because I missed my grandmother. At first I thought that her suggestion was foolish, but I have realized the wisdom of her words. Individuals with autism have great difficulty communicating. The subtleties of language are almost always incomprehensible.
Many social situations become confusing and overwhelming.
There is just so much about what we do and what we say when we interact that they do not understand. However, I have learned from a very special little girl that individuals with autism have a special kind of wisdom that sheds a bright and beautiful light.
