My Autistic Granddaughter Didn't Smile

As we continue our summer series on communication, I took a moment to talk with my mom, Jean, about this neurodiverse family of ours.  Her perspective and her observations about discovering autism in our family is going to be so relatable to so many of you.  As a retired teacher (and she was held in high regard in our community), she thinks back to students she had who she now realizes were neurodiverse - and how she didn't understand their needs or how to communicate with them.  

Next week, in part 2, we talk more about our own family, and how we've realized through the years that autism has been right here in our own world for generations.  You don't want to miss it...because it's your story, too.
