Unreal, a four year old video and not a single comment in four years. Oh well, heres the first. I'm an autistic, my son is also autistic, and my dad is autistic too. I have a real problem with the mcguiness's autistic family story. They have, by their own account, the most severely disabled autistic children, every trait, and characterture of autism within their children. I have met with dozens of autistic people over my years, and not once have i ever met an autistic person who has every trait or issue. The Mcguiness's seem to be profiting from not proffeeing advice or help for autism. Christmas can be difficult for autistic kids. If you know their dislikes, avoid those over christmas like any other time of year. If you dont know, go slow, go easy, dont force, and be willing to stop, adapt, or change things. If your child is as yet undiagnosed watch for "i dont like" comments or retracting away or playing up unexpectedly, including fights with other kids. Foods, lound noise (incl talking) or music, smells, lights, paper boxes, bright colours drinks etc all add to the familiar becoming unfamiliar and too much. Just be guided by the childs comfort zone, dont pressure or ridicule, force, or coerce your child to engage. As for mcguiness's its all bout them and their lives never about the world outside their bubble. So ignore the mcguiress's pointless "woe is us" theatrics.
