Hi
I am struggling with some of the adults in my family to understand what autism is. They are quite to shout and blame my 5 year old who has been diagnosed with autism. I try to explain that my son is different and doesn't always understand. Books/websites etc don't work to educate the adults - instead i was thinking of putting the adult infront of a DVD. Could anyone recommmend a DVD that explains what autism is and how it should be dealt with. That these kids are different, not naughty and that patience and understanding is required.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
