Check in with your pediatrician if there is any concerns about torticollis. This is an excellent article from a pediatric physical therapist.
This article by David Mitchell, is one of the most honest accounts of a family’s joys and heartbreaks while raising a child with autism. As someone who has worked with children with special needs and in the early intervention system, it is a story that many can learn from. Perhaps it can help change those stares that strangers give and create a system that is actually manageable and offers support to families instead of barriers.
The second part of this article is an excerpt from a book called ‘Living is a battle’: growing up with autism by 13 -year-old Naoki Higashida. An absolutely stunning description of his view on autism and being in the world and a book that gave David Mitchell some solace.
