I’m so amazed at the awareness level of my 5-year-old neurotypical son, Ian. When we returned from the Son-Rise Intensive, he asked if his big brother, Nathan has changed.

I told him, Nathan is still the same. He still has autism. It’s Mama and Papa who has changed. We now know better how to play with his Kuya Nathan.

I told Ian, it will be fun and if he wants, he can help us help Nathan. With a bright smile on his face he answered, “Yes!”
