Please watch and help to make sure that people, including Rappers and Singers don’t start using the word Autistic and the new R-word. Holly Robinson Peete explains what it felt like when her 15 year old son with Autism, asked what the lyrics of rapper Drake’s song, “Jodeci Freestyle” meant.

About the author

Lost and Tired

I’m Rob Gorski and I started this blog in January 2010 as a means of sharing my family’s real life journey raising 3 boys on the #Autism Spectrum.
It’s important for people to understand what Autism can really be like and the impact it has on the family. We aren’t a TV show and there are no actors. This is our struggle, our journey…and it’s all true.

I am “Lost and Tired” and
this is “My Reality #Autism”.

What he wrote is ignorant, and on TOP of that what she mentioned, that this is a HUGE issue 1:50 children and that it is not a little niche thing.... I'm sorry.......... would it be better he said that if it were a more rare condition?  Or one that perhaps doesn't effect your child?  !ould that make it alright  to put another down?. ALSO wrong choice of wording IMO.  Putting someone down while you are on a pedestal  to make yourself feel that much bigger is just the epitome of what is wrong with people in society today, no matter if it is 1:50 or just 1.
