This eBook is a companion to the film “Autism: A Family’s Journey.” In it, the Cairns family recount their experiences with living with autism. Autism is understood as a spectrum disorder, with a range of skill levels and disability. No two people with this diagnosis present in exactly the same way. The Cairns family faced a certain set of challenges with their son’s diagnosis and chose interventions which may be similar or different from other families’ challenges and interventions. Their story is meant to be illustrative but not prescriptive.
