1 in 91 kids, autism is everywhere...

Tonight at the videogame store we saw a little boy who was obviously on the autism spectrum. He reminded me of Alden before we started dietary intervention. I always want to talk to the parents of these kids and just say "I get it, here's my email address if you ever need to talk" but I never do. I don't want to come off as rude & make assumptions. I also don't want to be the first person to tell them that their child has autism. Can you imagine a stranger walking up to you in the store and diagnosing your child? How rude would that seem even if they were right? So I just stand there and smile & hope they know that I'm not judging them. I am them.
