Walk a Mile in my Shoes

Have you ever thought to yourself as you struggled to understand your child on the Autism spectrum, If only I could get inside his or her head for 5 minutes…I would know so much!”  Well here is a video clip of a simulation of what it is like to walk down the sidewalk with Autism Spectrum.  It is not exact, but it gives a very good idea as it compares a “typical” walk down the sidewalk with this same walk down the sidewalk when dealing with ASD.  The key objective here is to understand and empathize, in other words, “Autism Awareness”.  I believe that everyone would benefit greatly from this video experience as a parent, sibling, friend, etc, as it broadens the scope of understanding the World that is Autism.

 

Here is the Video Clip:
