It’s Not A Processing Error

Tracy Auger

Autism? Yeah, I’ve heard of it. What is it? I have no idea, actually.

That changed after I noticed that my grandson, Jude, wasn’t even attempting to talk at almost two years old. I sensed there could be a problem, and suggested that my daughter have it checked out. After many doctor’s appointments, referrals, and more appointments with multiple other professionals, the diagnosis was in.

My grandson has autism. What? Not my grandson!

Well, now I wanted to know: what is it? What are the signs? What are the symptoms? Was there anything I could do to help?
