00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.520
I have 6 year old autistic
twins.

2
00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:12.942
We started going to the museum
right about the time when they

3
00:00:12.942 --> 00:00:15.720
were just starting to gain a
grasp for words.

4
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.421
They didn't have much spoken
language, but we knew that they

5
00:00:19.421 --> 00:00:21.120
were interested in learning.

6
00:00:22.360 --> 00:00:26.176
One of the things that the
museum did was they have these

7
00:00:26.176 --> 00:00:30.454
especially for me, events which
are geared towards families with

8
00:00:30.454 --> 00:00:32.560
children with various diagnosis.

9
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.240
The Discovery Museum, there was
something else.

10
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.320
They clicked, it was their age,
it was the exhibits.

11
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:43.165
We just, we were so happy to see
them, see them happy and through

12
00:00:43.165 --> 00:00:47.791
that and through like I said,
through the process of all these

13
00:00:47.791 --> 00:00:52.269
years, we watched them grow,
develop, you know, a, a, a very

14
00:00:52.269 --> 00:00:55.280
extensive spoken language at
this point.

15
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.491
And they really, they really
have grown with all of the

16
00:00:59.491 --> 00:01:02.440
exhibits and they, I can see
their minds.

17
00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:05.120
I can see how they're thinking,
I can see what they're doing.

18
00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:07.740
They create their own little
experiments with all of the

19
00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:09.160
little things that are
happening.

20
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.763
Like it's, you can see the cog
is turning in their mind and

21
00:01:12.763 --> 00:01:14.560
it's fantastic to be able to see
that.
