When I made the
“Fixing” Autism video, I knew it rang true for me. I wasn’t sure how others
would perceive it, but I thought it might help other families affected by ASD know
that they are not alone. Even more importantly, I hoped that people outside the
autism community would see it and perhaps understand what it meant to be
touched by the disorder.The feedback to my “Fixing” Autism video has been astounding. When I made the video I thought that I had something special, but I thought it was special for ME. I put the video on YouTube because I wanted others to see it, but I figured viewership would be limited to my Facebook friends and some people who might stumble upon it if they did a YouTube search for “autism”. I shared it a couple of times on the Autism Speaks Facebook page thinking that people visiting that page would understand the frustration and anger that inspired me at 4:00 AM to silently scream at the establishment.
