ASD Families On Video

by Seana Smith on Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Have you had a look at the videos on the Raising Children Network autims website yet?  So far there are 10 short videos posted there, all interviews with lots of different parents and each covering a single theme.

There are so many stories here, and plenty of good ideas and advice.   You may end up nodding as you hear these parents talk, they may offer you some hope and inspiration.

They subjects discussed include diagnosis, extended family, schooling and early intervention.

This is a fantastic use of the internet, showing it’s great power and potential as a tool for sharing of stories, ideas and useful information.

The families who have been filmed for these videos have done a really good job, and they  really deserve a big “thank you” for their honesty, in sharing their stories- it’s not an easy thing to do.

I still get all emotional at times when I watch these videos- and what a range of emotions, the pride, the hurt, the joy, it’s all there and more in these family stories.

Well done also to Fiona and colleagues at the Raising Children Network who have done a great  job.
