NYT Article: Reaching My Autistic Son Through Disney (Long, but Worthwhile Read)

coffee bean

This article is really well written and interesting.  My ASD daughter has been obsessed with drawing Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Frozen characters over the last two months.  I've noticed when she is doing it, she confides in me more (to the extent she can) and also has used Disney movies to ask a lot of "Why is Elsa mad?  Why is Elsa running away?"

It really made me pause.  What do others think?
