About Your Autistic Family Member:
Dylan is a 9th grader who loves baseball (Cubs) and NASCAR (Jeff Gordon). He is very outgoing but has a lot of social difficulties.
Favorite Thing To Do With Your Autistic Family Member:
NASCAR races.
Thing You Hate Most About Autism:
The fact that it sometimes is an invisible disability. People see a "normal" looking child and can't understand why the child's parents don't make them mind or why the parent can't control them.
