Follow Their Lead

I just watched this video.
And I’ll want to watch it again because it’s an extraordinary thing when a mother bucks the system and follows her instinct and her son’s lead. The doctors said her two-year old autistic son would never talk. She listened to the them, but then discovered it wasn’t working for him.  She followed his lead and changed his life.  He’s expected to receive a Nobel Prize now.

She wrote a book about it: “The Spark: A Mother’s Story of Nurturing, Genius and Autism”. I haven’t read the book yet, but I bought it at Amazon for $12 before I finished watching this video.
