Overview
Parents share what it was like to hear that both of their sons had autistic spectrum disorders, those first feelings of fear and confusion, and their feelings of regaining control and helping their children.
Presenter
Carolyn & Lee are the parents of precious twin boys, both with autism, and a brand new baby boy born in July 2007. Their strength as parents of twins on the spectrum is inspiring and encouraging. Lee also gives his "dad's point of view" in raising boys with autism and the challenges and joys that come with every day life. Carolyn and Lee also share their various interventions and therapy experiences, specifically RDI- Relationship Development Intervention- and how that has helped to transform their sons in their relationships with others, as well as their own parenting skills and learning to "enjoy being together with your child, enjoying that moment".
