This is very difficult to watch: my heart is breaking for these
parents
and their children...
I've helped with autistic kids a few times, most recently while in
Albany, Western Australia where I helped at a Christmas party. I have
the utmost respect for those who working with people with learning
problems, social difficulties or mental and physical handicaps on a
daily basis, and even more so for the parents who genuinely engage
and sacrifice to make life as good as possible for their children in
that situation (and not all do, by any means).
I think it's impossible for me to say this without pissing somebody
off --
including myself -- but watching this reminded me that there are
worse
things than having your child die of brain cancer.
There's always something worse. But not at the time. A lot easier
standing outside looking in, than living it.
