handicaps

I babysit two autistic boys when their parents need a break, which is often. Jacob is 13 and reasonably functional, although quite stubborn. Someone who doesn't understand would probably assume he was extremely spoiled. Josh, severely autistic, is about my age. When I was first asked to babysit, I admit, I was nervous. I knew little about autism or the people behind it.

The age-old question: If you had to choose, would you rather be deaf or blind?
