Listen now
Description
In this episode, weshare thirteen questions posed to a 13 year old boy with autism who ia able to articulate his answers with such incredible insight. These questions along with many more can be found in the book "Why Do I Jump" by Naoki Higashida. We talk about how this insight helps us understand how Bryce may be feeling and how he may be experiencing ways in a completely different way than we do. It has created some  thought provoking talks in our home and will be a tool that we keep on hand for future discussions with Bryce as he learns to express his thoughts and feelings more clearly. Although there is progress and improvement, we still do quite a bit of decoding and guessing about what he is trying to tell us.  Bryce is a funny, mechanical, HAPPY little guy who was diagnosed with autism at age two and is now ten  years old. His pure joy makes this world a much better place! We are humbled and honored to follow our calling and be Autism Ambassadors while helping others understand our world a little more than they did before listening to the podcast. We also feel called to bring light to a community that has experienced dark days after the "diagnosis".
