Here’s how I pictured family dinner with my husband and three kids: Everyone is at the table, enjoying steak and fries while taking turns talking about the highlights from their day. In reality, dinner is more of a workout than a time to relax over conversation. In reality, my husband and I have spent more dinners than I can count chasing our two autistic kids (my son and younger daughter), sensory seekers who like to launch themselves out of their seats at every opportunity. In reality, this ideal image doesn’t fit our family dynamic at all. But I’m learning that that’s okay — with a little help from a TV and a therapist or two. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/09/30/how-tv-helps-my-autistic-kids-eat-dinner-my-two-tables/
