I watched my son hil whole life be left out, mistreated by other kids while parents sat on the sidelines watching. Benny was challenged socially as he looked very normal but missed social cues and kids just had no empathy or understanding. He was on the autistic spectrum but never diagnosed as the markers back then were not what they are today. I know in my heart that his death has been a catalyst for the great work we are doing, but it doesnt take away the vibrational tear at this mamas heart, especially watching a video like this one. I hope that is not what is still happening with all the work that is being done, but I still here stories that make me shudder. Please support our work in any way you can. We are saving lives through empowering kids like Ben Speaks to love themselves and not be defined by their challenges. benspeaks.org
