JEROD GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO THE AUTISM PUZZ
[ MUSIC ] GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO THE AUTISM PUZZLE.
WE'RE GLAD THAT YOU'RE HERE
TONIGHT FOR AN IMPORTANT HOUR
AND WE PLAN TO SHARE CRITICAL
INFORMATION AND TELL STORIES
AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS MAY
HAVEABOUT THE AUTISM SPECTRUM.
THE CALL LINES ARE OPEN FOR
ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE FROM
WARNING SIGNS AND DIAGNOSES TO
LONG TERM CARE.
STEP BY STEP ACADEMY AND THE
LEARNING SPECTRUM AND THE
LEARNING ASSOCIATION, CALL THE
NUMBER ON THE SCREEN.
NEW TO THIS SHOW, WE ALSO
HAVE EXPERTS HERE AT THE
STATION AS PART OF THE LIVE
CHAT ON FACEBOOK.
THIS IS NEAT.
YOU CAN PULL IT UP ON YOUR
PHONE OR TABLET, GO TO OUR WEB
PAGE AND YOU CAN SEE THE CHAT
ROOM AT THE TOP.
YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS THERE FOR
THE AUTISM PUZZLE LIVE CHAT.
LET'S START WITH THE BASICS.
THE ASD IS A GROUP OF DEVELOP
MENTAL CHALLENGES, PEOPLE WITH
IT, MAY COMMUNICATE AND ACT IN
DIFFERENT WAYS.
SOME WARNING SIGNS INCLUDES
AVOIDING EYE CONTACT, REPEATING
OR ECHOING OF PHRASES AND
EXTREME SENSITIVITY TO NOISE OR
LIGHTING.
FIRST UP TONIGHT, THE NEW
RESEARCH FROM THEUNIVERSITY OF
CAROLINA.
THEY'RE CALLING IT A BREAK
THROUGH AND HERE'S WHY, A FIRST
OF ITS KIND PREDICTING IT IN
INFANTS.
IGNITING NEW EXCITEMENT FOR THE
EARLY DETECTION.
IT'S AN EXCITING STUDY
BECAUSE IT TAKES US CLOSER TO
WHERE WE START TO SEE SOME OF
THESE CHANGES IN THE BRAIN.
THIS DOCTOR IS A CHILD
PSYCHOLOGIST AT THE NATIONWIDE
HOSPITAL WORKING WITH CHILDREN
WITH THE AUTISM SPECTRUM.
SHE SAYS THAT IT'S CRITICAL TO
GET THEM DIAGNOSED EARLY AND IN
THE STUDY, RESEARCHERS AT UNC
USED BRAIN SCANS TO PREDICT
WHICH BABIES WOULD BE DIAGNOSED
WITH AUTISM.
THE SCANS WERE TAKEN AT 6, 9
AND 12 MONTHS.
THEY LOOKED AT SPECTRUMS WITH
INFANTS WITH FAMILY HISTORY AND
NO FAMILY HISTORY.
WITH THE SCANS, THEY WERE ABLE
TO PREDICT WITHIN 80% ACCURACY
RATE, WHICH BABIES WOULD BE
DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM.
THE EXCITING THING IS WE'RE
ABLE TO LOOK AT BRAIN SCANS AND
THIS IS A STUDY AND IT'S A
SMALL POPULATION, BUT NOW THEY
WANT TO FIND THE BRAIN CHANGES
AND THENBE ABLE TO PREDICT IT
--
BEFORE THEY TURN ONE, IT'S A
SMALL STUDY, AND NEEDED MORE
RESEARCH, BUT IMAGINE WHAT THEY
CAN MEAN FOR THE THERAPIES AND
THE DIFFERENCE IT CAN MAKE FOR
CHILDREN ON THE SPROUL
SPECTRUM.
IT OFFERS NEW HOPE TO THE
PARENTS.
FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE,
THERE'S A LOT OF ANXIETY, WHEN
YOU HAVE ONE THAT HAS IT AND
YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT YOU
DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY IT WILL
GO, SO FOR SOME, THEY WILL BE
ABLE TO PLAN.
WHAT ABOUT THERAPIES AND
TREATMENTS?
ANOTHER FIRST OF ITS KIND OUT
OF DUKE UNIVERSITY, RESEARCHERS
WANTED TO FIND OUT IF CHILDREN
WOULD BENEFIT FROM A
TRANSFUSION OF THEIR OWN IMBILL
CAL CORD, BLOOD --
WE NOTICED THINGS THAT WERE
PECK CUE LAR --
SHE WAS OFF IN HER OWN
WORLD.
♪ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ♪
A LOT OF HAND MOVEMENTS.
KICKING AND SCREAMING AND
HITTING AND WE WOULD HAVE
TANTRUMS DAILY.
THE DAY TO DAY LIFE, WAS
DEFINITELY A STRUGGLE.
3 MONTHS AFTER HER SECOND
BIRTHDAY WE RECEIVED THE
DIAGNOSIS SHE WAS AUTISTIC.
[ MUSIC ] OH, YOU BEAT ME.
SO TO SEE WHERE SHE WAS AND
WHERE SHE IS NOW, IT'S A
MIRACLE, I WOULD SAY.
I GOT AN E-MAIL ONE DAY THAT
SAID DUKE UNIVERSITY WAS DOING
THIS STUDY WITH CORE BLOOD AND
THEY WANTED TO SEE IF IT WOULD
HELP AND RIGHT AWAY, I CLICKED
RESPOND, LET'S DO IT.
IT COULDN'T HURT.
SO WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO
EXPECT --
THE STUDIES TESTED WHETHER A
CHILD'S OWN CORD BLOOD WOULD BE
SAFE IN TREATING AUTISM.
CORE BLOOD WAS JUST THE
BABY'S BLOOD LEFT OVER IN THE
AFTER BIRTH AND CONTAINS LOTS
OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF CELLS AND
WITH CHILDREN WITH AUTISM,
WE'RE RELYING ON ONE KIND OF
BLOOD THE MONO-CITE --
GENERALLY WE SAW -- THE
BEHAVIOR IMPROVE AT 6 MONTHS OF
CHILDREN COMPARED TO BASELINE
STUDIES.
YOU PUT THE CANDLE ON THE
TABLE.
WE HAVE TO DO AND ARE DOING
A PLACEBO TRIAL TO REALLY
ANSWER THE QUESTION, AS TO
WHETHER THE CELLS ARE REALLY
MAKING A DIFFERENCE OR WHETHER
IT'S SOMETHING ELSE.
WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A CURE,
BUT WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT IT WILL
BE CURED IN THE LONG RUN.
BEFORE THE STUDY, AUTISM
AFFECTED PROBABLY 75% OF OUR
DAY AND NOW MAYBE AUTISM
AFFECTS 10% OF OUR DAY.
COOPER --
WAS IT THE STEM CELLS?
ALL WE KNOW IS THAT
SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HER.
LIKE -- WHETHER IT WAS THE STEM
CELLS OR WHETHER IT WAS A
NATURAL PROGRESSION.
OR JUST A COMBINATION --
RIGHT, SHE GOT BETTER AND
THE TANTRUMS BECOME BETTER.
SHE BECAME MORE
AFFECTIONATE.
SOCIAL SITUATIONS GOT
BETTER.
YOU STILL SEE SOME OF IT
THERE, IT'S NOT A CURE, BUT I
THINK AGAIN IT'S SUPER CHARGED
HER LEARNING CURVE.
THE BEST COMPLIMENT IS WE'LL
NEW PEOPLE AND WE'LL BRING UP
THE FACT SHE HAS AUTISM AND
PEOPLE ARE SHOCKED.
THEY'RE LOOK, IF YOU DIDN'T
TELL ME I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN.
IT'S NOT THE FOREFRONT OF HER
ANYMORE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
GRACECY HAS CHANGED A LOT,
IN THESE YEARS -- SHE USED TO
NOT TALK AND USED TO SOMETIMES
KICK AND BITE AND NOW
SHEDOESN'T DO THAT, SHE'S VERY
SWEET AND CALM.
[ INDISCERNIBLE ] -- I JUST
LIKE MY SISTER.
GREAT, YOU'RE GOING HIGHER
THAN I AM.
YES, I AM.
A YEAR AGO, WE REPORTED ON
THE FIGHT FOR THE INSURANCE IN
OHIO AND PARENTS HAVE NEVER
BEEN GUARANTEED FOR THE
THERAPIES UNTIL NOW.
THIS YEAR, THE GOVERNOR
SIGNED HOUSE BILL 633 WHICH
MANDATES THERAPIES UNTIL A
PERSON TURNS 14 AND A SIGNING
YESTERDAY, EXTENDED THAT HEALTH
CARE.
IT'S A HUGE STEP FORWARD AND
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
STRUGGLE TO GET THINGS COVERED.
TO YOU KNOW, -- OCCUPATIONAL
THERAPY AND SPEECH THERAPY,
THOSE THINGS AREN'T CHEAP.
AND THOSE PARENTS WHOSE CHILD
HAS NOT MANAGED TO MAKE IT AND
HAS NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE
MEDICAID FOR THE CHILDREN WITH
DISABILITY, THEY HAVE TO PAY
OUT OF POCKET.
HER SON WAS DIAGNOSED WITH
AUTISM AT THE AGE OF THREE.
THEY TRIED TO FIND THE RIGHT
KIND OF THERAPY, HE'S 6 YEARS
OLD TODAY AND ATTENDS SCHOOL
ONLINE.
JESSA SAYS THIS IS A HUGE
STEP FORWARD IN THE PAST, HE
HAS BEEN DENIED COVERAGE IN THE
PAST.
IT'S LIKE SOMEONE DENIED FOR
A HEART ATTACK CONDITION.
THEY HAVE THERAPY NOW AND
WITH THIS LAW IT PROVIDES MORE
COVERAGE FOR AGES 14 AND UNDER.
THIS IS WHAT WE WERE
FIGHTING FOR AND WE'RE NO
LONGER FIGHTING FOR THE
AWARENESS, JUST THE ACCEPTANCE.
THIS IS REALLY CRITICAL TO A
LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T KNOW,
THEY WOULD BE BANKRUPT IF THEY
TRIED TO GET THEM HELP, SO THIS
WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
IN A PROPOSED BILL, THEY
HEARD TESTIMONY FROM A MAN THAT
WAS ARRESTED DESPITE BEING
SOBER.
WE EXPLAIN WHAT IS NEXT FOR THE
LEGISLATION.
Reporter: DIANE PAGE STILL
REMEMBERS THE DAY HER SON WAS
ARRESTED.
IT WAS VERY TRAUMATIZING.
HE WAS STOPPED FOR SPEEDING,
BUT FAILED A SOBRIETY TEST.
IT WAS CLEAR TO SEE HIM WITH
HANDCUFFS, AFTER HE TOLD THEM
HE HAD AUTISM AND THAT OFFICER
SAID, WE DON'T DEAL WITH THAT
--
AND IF THIS CAN SAVE TIME
AND MONEY AND GIVE PIECE OF
MIND TO INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE A
DISABILITY AND WANT TO SIGN UP,
IT'S A WONDERFUL THING.
THE REPRESENTATIVE HEARD
SIMILAR THINGS FROM HIS
CITIZENS IN HIS DISTRICT.
PEOPLE WITH COMMUNICATIONS
DISABILITIES, THE INFORMATION
WOULD COME UP WHEN THE OFFICER
MAKES A STOP.
KNOWING WHAT THE OFFICER IS
ENCOUNTERING AND THAT GAP OF
INFORMATION AND CLOSING THAT
GAP.
FOR THIS FAMILY IT'S A RIGHT
STEP.
IT'S GOING MAKE A
DIFFERENCE, A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
IN TREATING INDIVIDUALS WITH
AUTISM THAT'S A COMMUNICATION
DISABILITY AND WITH RESPECT.
AHEAD, A LOOK AT LOCAL
ARTISTS FINDING THEIR VOICE.
IT MADE NATIONAL HEADLINES, THE
NEW CHARACTER ON SESAME STREET,
WHICH SPARKED A
NATIONALCONVERSATION AND HOW
THEY TRANSFORMED THIS CLOSET.
ALL AHEAD TO AUTISM PUZZLE.
=.
WE HAVE SO MANY GREAT
STORIES HERE.
WE RA TAKING YOUR CALLS TONIGHT
ABOUT AUTISM.
FROM TREATMENT TO DIAGNOSIS AND
LONGTERM CARE, ANYTHING THAT'S
ON YOUR MIND WE HAVE ASSEMBLED
A
PANEL OF EXPERTS.
CALL THE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN.
GIVE US A CALL, DON'T BE SHY,
WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANYTHING
YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW.
HOP ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE, WE
HAVE A LIVE CHAT GOING RIGHT
GOING TO COLLEGE CAN BE A
TOUGH TRANSITION, BUT THAT'S
ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR PEOPLE ON
THE SPECTRUM.
WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT A PROGRAM
THAT'S HELPING THE ADULTS MAKE
THE ADJUSTMENT.
PERFECT AND THEN TRY THIS
ONE TOO.
LIFE SKILLS LIKE IRONING IS
JUST ONE OF THE THINGS THEY
LEARN HERE STUDENTS WITH AUTISM
OR ON THE SPECTRUM, DOING
LAUNDRY AND SOCIALIZING CAN BE
THE MOST DIFFICULT PART.
IT'S LIKE FIGURE IT OUT ON
YOUR OWN AND WE HAVE HAD A
GROUP OF STUDENTS WHO REALLY
STRUGGLED.
AND EVEN SOME DROPPED OUT,
SO THEY DEVELOPED THIS PROGRAM
CALLED THRIVE.
IT'S HELPING US GET THE
CAREER SKILLS AND BALANCE OUR
LIVES.
Reporter: ROBERT IS A MEMBER
OF THRIVE.
IT'S ENCOURAGED ME TO NOT
JUST BEFRIEND PEOPLE IN THE
PROGRAM, BUT OTHERS AS WELL.
THEY WORK ON SOCIAL
INTERACTIONS, LIFE SKILLS AND
AT CAREER FAIRS.
WE DON'T WANT TO CHARGE THEM
ANYMORE BY WORKING TO SKILLS
THAT ARE NEEDED.
SHE SAYS THIS IS HOW IT
SHOULD BE, STUDENTS CONNECTED.
IT'S HELPED ME COME OUT OF
MY SHELL AND REALLY TAKE THE
INITIATIVE AS FAR AS THE
STUDENT HERE AND OWN MY TIME
HERE AND NOT JUST BE ONE SMALL
PART THAT DOESN'T YOU KNOW, USE
HIS VOICE.
NOW LOCALLY COLUMBUS STATE
OFFERS THE TRACK PROGRAM TO
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
TRANSITION RESOURCE TO ACCESS
COLLEGE AND CAREERS AND THEY
PROVIDE A SUPPORT SYSTEM TO
ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS.
ALL RIGHT, SOME OF OUR MOST
CREATIVE AND BRILLIANT MINDS
BEST EXPRESS THEMSELVES THROUGH
ART.
ART CAN FORGE PATH WAYS.
-- THEY VALUE THEMSELVES
HERE, THEY'RE NOT -- THEY DON'T
LEAD WITH THEIRDISABILITY.
THEY LEAD WITH THE PERFORMANCES
ON STAGE.
♪ IF YOU WANT TO GET TO
PARADISE ♪ A PERFORMANCE
PROVES THAT POINT.
I NEVER LIKED TO BE AROUND
BIG GROUPS OR DANCE IN FRONT OF
BIG GROUPS OR SING IN FRONT OF
BIG GROUPS.
BUT SINCE I STARTED HERE, IT'S
LIKE ALL THE FEARS WENT OUT.
THEY MEET HERE EACH WEEK TO
REHEARSE AND REVEAL WHAT IS
INSIDE.
I LIKE DISNEY MUSIC AND
BROAD WAY MUSIC.
WHEN I GET SOMEONE THAT
ONLYCOMMUNICATES THROUGH A
PUPPET, I ACCEPT THAT AND
EVENTUALLY THAT GOES AWAY AND A
NEW CHARACTER IS BORN.
FOR RANDY, HIS MUSICAL
TALENT WAS NOT REVEALED THROUGH
SINGLE AN INSTRUMENT.
IT MAG ANIFIES THE -- THE
MUSIC.
BY HIS COMPUTER, HE'S
CURRENTLY IN SCHOOL HOPING TO
SOME DAY COMPOSE.
AS AN ARTIST AND COMPOSER
AND SOMEONE ON THE SPECTRUM,
BEING ABLE TO NETWORK ON OTHER
PEOPLE IS ACTUALLY A PASSION OF
MINE.
WHEN ARTISTS SEEK SUPPORT,
THEY CAN HELP.
ARTS UNLOCK ALL KINDS OF
POSSIBILITY, RIGHT?
THEY HELP EXPRESS OURSELVES AND
LEAD TO CAREERS TOO.
AARON WORKS TO CONNECT THEM
WITH THEIR PASSION.
THEY SUPPORT PERFORMANCE
GROUPS, GEARED WITH PEOPLE
TOWARD AUTISM.
CREATING SPACES WHERE YES,
YOU ARE WELCOME.
THERE'S A COMMUNITY WAITING
FOR US TO HAVE THEM AND IT'S
LIKE AN AGENT OR A PRODUCER.
IT COVERS A BROAD RANGE AND
CAN LEAD TO FINDING A NEW
VOICE.
THERE'S A FOCUS ON THE WAYS
THAT ART CAN REDUCE ANXIETY AND
GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO
THEN FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT IT AS
THEY GET MORE AND MORE SKILLS
AND THAT'S REALLY VALUABLE FOR
AUTISTIC PEOPLE.
UP NEXT, A NIGHT OUT FOR
AUTISM FAMILIES.
AND LATER A YOUNG MAN
INSPIRED A TEAM AND SCHOOL
JUST BY BEING HIMSELF.
THAT'S AHEAD ON THE AUTISM
PUZZLE.

WELCOME BACK.
LET'S SAY YOU'RE OUT TO DINNER
WITH DID KIDS, BUT IF A CHILD
HAS AUTISM, IT CAN BE AN
IMPOSSIBLE TASK.
SO THIS MONTH, A GROUP OF
STUDENTS MAKES SURE IT'S EASIER
ONE TIME A MONTH.
IT'S CHAOS.
IT'S A STRUGGLE FOR US TO GO
OUT AS A FAMILY.
AND TO ENJOY OURSELVES AND NOT
TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHERS ARE
THINKING AND SOMETIMES IT'S
NEGATIVE.
BUT FOR THIS NIGHT, NO ONE
IS WORRIED ABOUT NOISES OR
STRESS, THE COLLEGE STUDENTS
MAKE SURE OF IT.
IT'S AN EVENT CALLED
HOSPITALITY LISTENS WHERE OSU
PARTNERS WITH RESTAURANTS FOR A
REAL WORLD TEST TO SEE HOW THE
STUDENTS CAN BEST SERVE
FAMILIES WITH AUTISM.
WE WANT TO PREPARE OUR
STUDENTS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY
EFFECTIVELY AND RESOLVE
PROBLEMS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT
WE WANTED OUR STUDENTS IN
TERMS OF DIVERSITY TO KNOW AND
UNDERSTAND AND WHAT MY REAL
HOPE IS THAT OUR GRADUATES WILL
GO OUT AND REPLICATE AND SERVE
FAMILIES BETTER EVERYWHERE.
THE STUDENTS DISCUSS THE
STRATEGIES TO SERVE SOMEONE
THAT MAY HAVE ANXIETY AND SOME
HAVE SPECIAL SEATING SECTIONS
THAT MAY BE MORE QUIET.
WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT
LIGHTING AND SOUNDS.
IF I'M COMFORTABLE DEALING
WITH IT, PEOPLE AROUND ME TEND
TO BE A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE
WITH IT TOO.
THE KIDS GET PLENTY OF FUN
BREAKS, INCLUDING THE JOY OF
OLD SCHOOL VIDEO GAMES.
IN A GIANT BOX, PACMAN.
AND THE FAMILIES GET A GREAT
NIGHT TOGETHER.
SOME OF OUR FRIENDS HAD A
EASIEST KIDS AND THEY CLEAN
THEIR ROOM AND GO OUT TO DINNER
FOR US, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE.

NOT ALL ALONE AND THERE'S
PARENTS WITH KIDS LIKE WITH

CHILDREN ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM
DON'T SEE MANY KIDS THAT LOOK
AND SOUND LIKE THEM ON
TELEVISION.
YOU'LL FIND VERY FEW
CHARACTERS.
BUT THIS WEEK, SESAME
STREETINTRODUCED A NEW KID --
ON THE BLOCK.
AFTER NEARLY HALF CENTURY ON
TELEVISION, FEATURING HUNDREDS
OF MEMORABLE PUPPETS, THEY HAVE
A BRAND NEW FRIEND TO GET TO
KNOW, UNLIKE ANY OTHER.
WHO IS THIS?
THIS IS OUR FRIEND JEWEL
JULIA.
IT MEANS -- FOR HER, SHE MAY
NOT ANSWER YOU RIGHT AWAY.
SHE STARTED AS A CHARACTER
IN SESAME STREET BOOKS AND IN
THE DIGITAL SERIES IN 2015,
PART OF THE BE AMAZING IN ALL
CHILDREN AND NOW COMING TO LIFE
ON THE SHOW.
YOU'RE SO CREATIVE.
YOU FELT LIKE YOU WERE THE
ONLY ONE WITH AUTISM?
YEAH.
SHE FINALLY HAD A CHARACTER
TO RELATE TO.
TO ME, IT WAS LIKE SEEING MY
DAUGHTER COME TO LIFE ON
SCREEN.
AFTER AN OVERWHELMING
RESPONSE, SESAME STREET BROUGHT
JULIA TO LIFE.
FROM THE HELP OF A PUPPETEER
WHO HAVE AN AUTISTIC SON.
I HOPE IT HELPS THEM
CONNECT.
I DON'T THINK SHE LIKES ON
ME VERY MUCH.
SHE DOESN'T TALK A LOT OR
MAKE EYE CONTACT, BUT LOVES TO
DRAW AND SING AND PLAY.
SHE DOES THINGS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENTLY.
THEY CELEBRATE JULIA AND ALL
THE FUN CREATIVE TRAITS SHE
BRINGS TO THE SHOW AND BIG BIRD
UNDERSTANDS THAT HIS FRIENDS
ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND FUN, A
LESSON THEY HOPE THAT ALL
CHILDREN WILL APPRECIATE TOO.
WE CAN ALL BE FRIENDS.

GET READY TO BE BLOWN AWAY
BY SOME IMPRESSIVE SKILLS ON
THE GUITAR.
THIS 21-YEAR-OLD IS ON THE
SPECTRUM AND HE'S FROM CENTRAL
OHIO.
HE TAUGHT HIMSELF TO PLAY
THE GUITAR AND NOW PERFORMANCES
WITH A BANDS "THE BLUE
SPECTRUM."
[ MUSIC ] ZAYNE WAS
DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM WHEN HE
WAS 4.
WE WERE TOLD A LOT OF CAN'TS
AND NERVES, AND IT YOU
DEFINITELY WERE GRIEVING, BUT
WE'RE THRILLED TO SEE HIM COME
INTO HIS GIFTS AND FULLNESS
NOW.
[ MUSIC ]
= HE TOOK 7 YEARS OF THERAPY,
BECAUSE WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER AND
FIRST DIAGNOSED HE HAD A SEVERE
DEXTERITY ISSUE.
ZAYNE KICKED OFF THE AUTISM
MONTH AND HE'S WITH A BAND THAT
INCLUDES OTHERS ON WITH AUTISM
AND THEY PLAY PUBLIC VENUES
LOCALLY TO THE BLUES ON A BIG
STAGE.
ZAYNE SAYS HE TAUGHT HIMSELF.
I WATCH HIM PLAY BEHIND HIS
BACK.
THAT DREW A STANDING OVATION
AND HIS MOM SAYS THERE'S A
MESSAGE HERE FOR OTHER PARENTS.
OUR MESSAGE ALONG WITH THE
THERAPIES AND EARLY
INTERVENTION IT'S GETTING THEM
OUT THERE, IT'S EASY TO ISOLATE
THEMSELVES AND HAVE SHAME.
HER SON WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED
WITH AUTISM AT 4.
IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO COME
TO GRIPS WITH IT AND I DIDN'T
TALK PUBLICLY ABOUT IT.
BUT NOW HE'S A MEMBER OF THE
AUTISM BOARD AND HELPED WITH
THE BATTLE TO GET INSURANCE FOR
THE TREATMENT.
HE SAYS HIS SON IS NOW 9 AND
TURNING 10 IN TWO MONTHSES.
THERE ISN'T A THING THAT I
WOULD CHANGE -- OUR SON IS
CHARMING AND LOVING AND A
WONDERFUL YOUNG BOY.
THIS MONTH IS ABOUT
AWARENESS AND LOVING OTHERS.
EVERYTHING THEY DO IS TRY TO
HELP THEIR CHILD AND HELP
OTHERS.

MARK TAYLOR HAS MORE.
IT'S ONE OF THE FASTEST

6 CHILDREN.
THEY HOLD A SPECIAL DAY
DEDICATED TO KIDS ON THE
SPECTRUM.
WE WANT THEM TO FEEL IT AND
TOUCH.
THEY HELP KIDS WITH
LOWESIGHTS TO LOWER SOUNDS.
WE KNOW THEY DON'T LIKE LOUD
SOUNDS.
THE DAY IS JUST ONE OF
SEVERAL THEY HOPE TO HAVE THIS
YEAR.
SO ALL CHILDREN CAN BENEFIT AND
LEARN FROM THE CENTER.
LEARN THAT SCIENCE IS
FRIENDLY FOR EVERYONE.
EARLIER WE TOLD YOU ABOUT A
REGISTRY TO HELP THOSE WITH A
DISABILITY.
TRAINING FOR POLICE CONTINUES
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND A
12-YEAR-OLD BOY IS LEADING THAT
CHARGE IN NEW YORK.
Reporter: WALKING INTO A
ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE CAN BE A
HIGH STRESS SCENARIO WITH
SOMEONE WITH AUTISM, BUT THAT'S
EXACTLY WHAT THIS 12-YEAR-OLD
DID ON MONDAY.
HUNTER IS NON-VERBAL AND ON THE
SEVERE SIDE OF THE AUTISM
SPECTRUM.
HE'S VISITING TO SHOW OFFICERS
HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS.
IF HE HAS A MELT DOWN, HIS
MOM WON'T HELP.
THEY RUN THIS RESS SPONSE
TRAINING --
I LIVE IN ORLANDO AND MY SUN
IS AUTISTIC.
CHILDREN WITH AUTISM ARE
MORE LIKELY TO BE ABUSED OR
KIDNAPPED AND THEY TEND TO
WANDER OFF AND SOMETIMES SHUT
DOWN WHEN DEALING WITH POLICE
OFFICERS.
EVERY OFFICERS GETTING A
TRAINING KIT HERE FOR FREE AND
INSIDE ARE THE NON-VERBAL
COMMUNICATION CARDS.
IT HELPS THEM WHEN IT COMES
TO INTERVIEWING AN INDIVIDUAL
WITH AUTISM.
A CHEW STICK AND A FIDGET
CUBE.
WE HAVE SEEN PEOPLE THAT
DRIVE AND OTHER THAT ARE NON-
VERBAL.
OFFICERS AND PEOPLE LIKE
HUNTER STEPPING OUT OF THEIR
COMFORT ZONES LEARNING TO
COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY.
COMING UP, WE'RE CELEBRATING
AUTISM HERE AT HOME AND WE'LL
TAKE YOU TO SOME SPECIAL
EVENTS.
[ APPLAUSE ] AND HOW A HIGH
SCHOOLER WITH AUTISM LED HIS
BASKETBALL TEAM FROM THE BENCH.
=
= THAT'S MY GUY, YOU DON'T WANT
TO GO ANYWHERE, 614-821-4444.
THE CALL LINES ARE OPEN.
WE GET THESE QUESTIONS EVERY
YEAR AND THE PARENTS ARE ASKING
ABOUT THE SYMPTOMS OR WARNING
SIGNS.
AND WE GET A LOT OF
QUESTIONS ABOUT INSURANCE AND
THE COVERAGE THERE AND WORKING
WITH THE SCHOOL ON THE PROGRAMS
AND WHAT WORKS FOR YOUR CHILD.
SO ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS,
THE REASON WE BRING YOU
THIS SHOW EVERY APRIL IS
BECAUSE APRIL IS AUTISM
AWARENESS MONTH.
AND WE HAVE SEEN A
REMARKABLE NUMBER OF EVENTS
AROUND OHIO AND REALLY AROUND
THE COUNTRY FOR THE PEOPLE ON
THE SPECTRUM.
WE MARKED AUTISM AWARENESS
MONTH AND THAT NIGHT WE SAW THE
LANDMARK MARKED I BLUE, AND
THAT EXTENDED SOME PROMINENT
STRUCTURES AROUND THE WORLD,
LIKE THE WHITE HOUSE, THE
ROCKEFELLER CENTER AND EVEN THE
ANCIENT CITY OF JORDAN, AND THE
PYRAMIDS IN EGYPT.
WOW .
[ LAUGHTER ] ALL RIGHT.
YEAH, IT'S BEEN A THRILLING
SEASON WITH THE BLUE JACKETS
AND THEY JOINED THE FAMILIES OF
AUTISTIC CHILDREN LAST WEEK.
THEY DID COOL ARTS AND CRAFTS
AND SHOT A FEW PUCKS AND THEN
SAT DOWN TO ENJOY THE GAME
INSIDE THE NATIONWIDE ARENA.
WE'RE JUST OUT HERE WITH OUR
SON JACKSON.
THE WHOLE FAMILY IS OUT.
JACKSON IS 7 AND HAS AUTISM.
WE GET TO WATCH HOCKEY ALL THE
TIME AT THE HOUSE, AND THEY
LOVE IT, IT'S A GREAT TIME AND
REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYONE
PUTTING THIS ON FOR US.
FOR MANY OF THOSE KIDS, THAT
WAS THE FIRST EXPERIENCE IN A
BIG ARENA AND WHEN YOU THINK
ABOUT IT, IT CAN BE
OVERWHELMING, AND LOUD.
IN QUICKEN LOANS, IT CAN BE ONE
OF THE LOUDEST BUILDINGS, BUT
THEY SAY THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE
ALL THE FANS FELT WELCOME, SO
THEY WENT TO WORK.
YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD NOISE
QUITE LIKE THE CUBE.
BETWEEN THE SOUND AND THE
NOISE AND THE AUDIO VISUALS.
THEY FEED OFF THEIR ENERGY,
BUT THE INTENSITY DOESN'T FIT
EVERY FAN.
WE TALK ABOUT TAKING CARE OF
EVERY GUEST EVERY TIME AND WE
REALIZED THAT WASN'T GETTING
EVERYBODY UNDER THAT
UMBRELLA,IF YOU WILL.
SO WE BUILT SOME AMAZING
CITIES, BUT OUR CITIES BY AND
LARGE ARE EVOLVING AND 20% OF
THE PEOPLE HAVE DISABILITIES IN
THE COUNTRY AND THEY WANT TO BE
PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND NO
ONE WANTS BEEN LEFT OUT.
HE'S A PARENT OF A CHILD
WITH AUTISM AND THEY PROVIDE
RESOURCES AND CONSULT WITH
BUSINESSES ABOUT INCLUSION.
SO IT HELPS FROM A VISUAL
ASPECT, AND HELPS TO CALM YOU
AND BASICALLY HELP YOU
GECENTERED.
AND YOU MAY BE CENTERED AND
CALM.
THEY CREATED A CALM SPACE,
IT USED TO BE A STORAGE
BUILDING, BUT NOW IT'S A SENSOR
FRIENDLY ROOM WITH CALMING
FEATURES.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND MEANT TO
BE TOUCHED.
IT DOES NOT END WITH THE
ROOM, THE SERVICE STAFF HERE
HAS GONE THROUGH EXTENSIVE
TRAINING HOW TO SERVE A GUEST
AFFECTED BY THE SENSORY
DISORDER OVER.
IT'S REALLY THE DOS AND
DON'TS WHEN YOU ENGAGE A GUEST
WITH A DISABILITY.
ONE PERSON TWEETED, NOW I CAN
TAKE MY SON TO A GAME.
IT'S ALLOWS THEM TO GET OUT
AND IT'S A SAFE HAVEN AND I CAN
COME HERE AND PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
MY NEEDS OR MY CHILD'S NEEDS
AND THEY ARE ALSO TRAINED TO
BETTER SERVE ME.
WE CLOSE OUT THE SHOW WITH
LESLIE, A TEAM MANAGER AND TRUE
INSPIRATION, NEXT.
= =

I GUARANTEE YOU, YOU DON'T
WANT TO MISS THAT.
WE HAVE EXPERTS TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTIONS, ALL THE PHONE
NUMBER.
I THINK WHAT IS INTERESTING,
IS A LOT OF FOLKS ARE CALLING
FOR BASIC INFORMATION AND
THAT'S THE POINT OF THIS PANEL
TO GIVE YOU THE WARNING SIGNS
IN A YOUNG PERSON IF YOU
LESLIE WALTERS WILL
GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL THIS
SPRING.
HE'S THE YOUNG PLAN ON THE
AUTISM SPECTRUM.
HE'S ALWAYS CHEERED FOR HIS
FRIENDS, BUT THIS NIGHT THEIR
CHEERED FOR HIM.
I'M PROUD OF.
YOU'RE THE STAR, AND FINISH
OFF WITH A BANG.
NEXT IS LESLIE WALTERS [
APPLAUSE ] [ INDISCERNIBLE ]
THANK YOU [ APPLAUSE ]
LESLIE'S PATH TO THIS MOMENT
STARTED BEFORE HE STARTED
SCHOOL.
HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM AS
A YOUNG BOY BUT ABLE TO ATTEND
THE SCHOOL.
HE WAS PROBABLY ONE OF MY
FIRST FRIENDS, AND HE HAD A
HARD TIME MAKING FRIENDS AND
MOST PEOPLE THAT AGE AREN'T
THAT UNDERSTANDING.
HE FOUND HIS HOME IN HOOPS.
WHEN HE GOT TO HIGH SCHOOL --
HE WAS IN MY CLASS AND CAME
UP TO ME ONE DAY, PROBABLY IN
SEPTEMBER AND SAID I LIKE
BASKETBALL AND I WANT TO HELP
OUT.
HE HAS NOT MISSED ONE
PRACTICE OR A CHANCE TO HELP
OUT.
WORK AS A TEAM --
HE'S ALSO TAUGHT THEM A FEW
THINGS.
FOR EXAMPLE, HIS LOVE FOR
THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE.
I KNOW ALL THE ENGINES, AND
THEY'RE SO COOL.
WE HAVE HAD A FUN TIME
TALKING ABOUT THAT AND HE'S
GOTTEN ME TO WATCH A COUPLE OF
THE SHOWS AND HE GAVE ME A
CHARACTER NAME.
WHAT IS YOURS?
I'M ENGINE NUMBER 11.
MY NAME IS JAMES AND HE'S SO
COOL.
BEFORE TIP OFF, HE OFFERS
WISE WORDS.
I'M VERY PROUD OF GUYS, YOU
DID A GOOD JOB.
