Share your inspiring, hopeful story of how autism touched you.

My son Chris and I were making strawberry shortcakes one night. When we were done he said he wanted a particular one. Then he changed his mind and wanted a different one (they were all the same size). I said "Chris what is the difference?" He quickly responded " The difference is subtraction." I was baffled at first, but the realized I was the dummy. He answered my question correctly.
