This movie is really powerful in helping someone understand Aspergers Syndrome. At age 2, Taylor was diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. At age 17 she is a top student, athlete, and creative artist. What is interesting to me is how she got there. Someone had to step in and intervene. Her mom sought interventions in Taylor's early years.
She gives her own experiences and examples such as:
1. Troubles with communicating
2. How's I'm different today
3. Tactile sensitivities
4. Sudden sounds
5. Associations
6. The great disconnect
7. Advice to parents from an Aspergers
8. Explains negative behavior in Aspergers kids
9. Stresses the importance of opening doors while your kid is young.
10. What she likes about her life with Aspergers
Taylor just wants people to know there is hope. Start helping them when they are young. Check out the video and let me know what you think! :)

My life in the Aspergers lane. Chaz, my 10 year old was diagnosed with Aspergers when he was 5 years old. It explained a lot but I have so much more to learn to help my son. Seeking answers and documenting my journey here. Be the sunshine for your child when they come home with dark clouds hanging over them. Be the rainbow that brings hope by speaking up for them. "Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning." Psalm 30:5
*Encouragement is the best medicine to give someone. If I were to pick any gift to have in helping others, that would be the one*
