Switch lives with for one day and Why.
My son, Benjamin.
I want to know and experience his struggle with Autism. How it feels to live in his skin and how it is to live inside his head. To understand the complexities of his everyday life that I am cut off from. To feel what he feels and to experience the struggle he must feel when he can not communicate his needs.
I want to better understand his need for constant pressure within this world. I want to switch lives with him for one day so he can have the ability for one day to communicate with others and have the peace of body and soul. And so that I can come to an understanding of what he goes through. To know the thoughts that run through his head, the fears, worries and knowledge of things.
Autism is an ever growing disorder and it affects so many individuals, and yet there have been little resolutions made for this disorder. This disability is not something that can be cured, it isn't something that affects only children, these individuals live with it their entire lives.
If we knew more, we could do more.
