In honor of Autism Awareness Day, I want to bring something to light. While I do not have a child who has autism, I do have dear friends and family who do. The next time you are out somewhere and see a parent struggling with a child who is disruptive, give them a supportive smile. If you are at a restaurant and have the means to do so, maybe even pick up their tab. Parents are so often scrutinized for being lax if their child acts out in public when the truth of the matter is that if that child is autistic, they cannot help what they are doing nor can that parent. Compassion and kindness are key and can go a long way for an overwhelmed parent and child.
