This month is Autism Awareness Month, so I just wanted to take a moment to recognize all of those who are affected by autism, particularly parents. Having a child with autism is a tough path to be on. Time can be filled alternately with joy and frustration, triumph and tears; it's not an easy road to walk, and some days are simply managed as best as one can manage them.
So for the month of April, lend a helping hand to a mom or dad whose child is tantruming in public. Not every tantrum is a spoiled child... If you see someone struggling with their child, offer to open a door or carry a bag. Little things can help a lot.
