Currently watching The Good Doctor on Netflix. It's a medical drama that revolves around the story of the main character who is an autistic-savant. So he is autistic but he is also highly intelligent; and he actually works as a surgeon. While my daughter and I were watching yesterday, she suddenly blurted out, "I want to be like him." "What?" I asked in surprise. "Because he's very smart," she explained. I hugged her and I said, "I don't need that type of smart. I don't want you to be like that because how will I hug you? Who will I tickle?" I hugged her more tightly and kissed her soft cheeks. I said, "It's also hard for them, especially for their parents because those with autism have their own world. It's more likely that their parents cannot even hug them whenever they want, and that's hard on everyone." I just feel for the parents of children who are in the spectrum, as well as the children. Each day, they are challenged by activities that we normally just do without thinking. I cannot imagine how difficult it is emotionally to want to hug your child and not be able to do so because this might trigger him. There's definitely a lot that we aren't aware of. I guess it would help if we were a bit more compassionate and understanding.❣️💮 ***Photo is my screenshot from Netflix. #NoiseCash
