At the 2010 National Center for Family Literacy conference, author Monica Holloway talks about receiving the devastating diagnosis that her son Wills is autistic and would never read.

"Wills was standing in the waiting room with his hands clamped over his tiny ears. I was devastated."

  • If this speech went on a little longer, you would hear me say that I did not believe the doctor. I was initially devastated by the news, but refused to underestimate my son. Wills certainly learns to read. The message of the speech is actually not to believe the words, "Never" or "Cannot" when it comes to your child. This is a snippet of a 35 minute speech. The real message is to NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR CHILD!
