[quote=Anonymous]My experience is that children do want a label for what they see. We were at the public pool on a weekday and there were 2 young adults with a caregiver. One of them was walking in the shallow end and making grunting noises and flailing their arms. My 5 and 7 year old kids had questions. I tried to answer vaguely about how everyone is different and the brain can be different too. But my kids were not satisfied until I said that I thought they had autism which is something you are born with and if it's severe enough it makes you act that way. [/quote]
