    "...I used to buy my child every Matchbox car in the grocery store that he asked for because saying 'No' caused an embarrassing meltdown. My concern for the other shoppers' comfort and their perception of me and my child outweighed the valuable, teachable moment that would have benefited me and my son.

    15 years ago, our son was diagnosed with autism. We couldn't participate in local activities for little kids because of his extreme behaviors like non-stop door slamming. I felt very isolated. If I'd had this group back then, we would have learned how to navigate life as a family with autism so much sooner.
