“If you could snap your fingers and make your child ‘NOT’ be autistic, would you?”


“If you could snap your fingers and make your child ‘NOT’ be autistic, would you?”

I’ve heard this hypothetical asked quite a bit. My response is this.

I would respect what JONAH wants for his life, when he is able to decide.

If such a thing ever existed that had the ability to “change” his autism…I would not presume to decide for him either way. I am his caretaker, but ultimately, it is HIS life.

I would respect… whatever Jonah wants in that regard.
