Senses such as smells, sounds and touch are more sensitive in people with ASD, and they can be much more amplified, causing sometimes severe and unusual reactions. Trevor is sensitive to loud noises, and in elementary school he wore headphones at events such as school assemblies to drown out the high noise levels. As an adult, he is more tolerant, but still gets agitated at unexpected or sudden loud noises.

One of my favorite magazines is Readers Digest. There are a wide variety of short stories and interesting snippets. Despite the huge number of ads in each issue, I look forward to getting my monthly issue and keeping it in the smallest room of the house.
In an issue I found some pretty profound nuggets on leadership as quoted by some of the greatest leaders in both the public and private sectors. A few of them were profound enough that I thought I would send them out to you (with proper attribution, of course) so you might be able to get just one nugget to help you be a better leader.

My church holds mens breakfasts every quarter where about 200 men get together early on a Saturday morning, enjoy some great comfort food, and listen to some really good speakers. After attending one of the breakfasts, I approached the Mens Pastor about the idea of my son Trevor and I doing a talk about ten ways to mess up as a Dad. He was intrigued with the idea so that night at dinner I asked Trevor if he'd be interested in doing this with me. His first comment was, "well, I can think of about a hundred ways!" Knowing that my son would have absolutely no difficulty in coming up with ten ways (and having 90 to spare), we embarked upon creating the presentation.

At the writing of this book there is no known cure for any of the Autism Spectrum Disorders. You have to work together based on a goal of supporting your child with ASD, not trying to cure him of it. You'll have much great success if you adopt a mindset of acceptance.
