autism night at the childrens museum
last week we went to autism night at the childrens museum. I was a little unsure of what to expect as i went there as i have never been around an individual with autism. when i got there there were 2 children with autism. they were the complete opposite of each other. one was extremely hyper while the other child was calm and quiet. each one had there little niche that they would do to i guess calm and collect themselves. the quiet one would touch your face and keep to himself while the hyper one would hold things close to his face and hop around a little bit. over all i definately think that this was a learning experience and it was fun as well

This is most definantly an experience to talk about, not only for the purpose of this blog but the interesting interaction between yourself and those children. Dealing with autism in any form takes a lot of courage and strength, it is fantastic that you went to the museum and had this experience. I know some people that just wouldn't be able to deal with something like this and it is wonderful you were able to get so much from the experience.
