Recently one of your colleagues shared with me that after reading a weekly wrap up, that she wanted to let me know the CSH Autism program “Friends Like You, Friends Like Me” has reached her neighborhood.
Her daughter came home from school not too long ago with a book all about autism and how children should treat each other. She was so excited about this for two reasons: first she was clearly excited because as she said to her teacher and class "My mom is a nurse at Children's Specialized Hospital and she helps kids there!"
I loved that! Secondly, their family has a relative with a mild form of autism and her daughter was very happy that other kids would be taught how to properly interact with children with autism without as she put it "making them feel like they are different.” Her daughter read through the book given to her and questioned her mom on what she was told and was really happy with what her class was taught.
So it made me think - do you all have a way CSH may have touched your personal life when you least expected it and it made you proud to work with your colleagues?
