"Grocery Store Outing" Real Look Autism

This video for Real Look Autism.com shows us how a dad and his 10 yr. old son tackle the grocery store. We call it "shopping therapy". With some planning and help from his therapist, Noah is learning to be purposeful and successful in an environment that can be very stimulating and distracting.

I trying not to sound like a jerk here but what is missing in a autistic childs brain is something like not all the way developed or something

@TLmysteryman123 Well, they don't really know what causes autism, but it is neurologically based.

Thanks @chetlehuang and @jab2004jrb2007! Noah's dad is an inspiration to me too. His patience and perseverance are amazing to watch...it takes time, but change is possible. Keep up your great work and thanks for watching.

My 2 year old son is Autisitc.. we have started early teaching him how to do everyday things we do not shelter him from everyday activites out of fear of a meltdown.. We go shopping everyday.. its a learning adventure!

@mrstiffanycoghill  Well said! :)

I think autism parents are the greatest. We have one in our group home. The boy's mom is the best, and she looks out for him all the time. Dunno how she does it. But yeah. Gotta love the boy.

[mrstiffanycoghill]

That is one happy beautiful boy and he is so lucky to have the parents that he does.. I really liked this video :)

noah is learning and do every thing we are

He's so cute:)

[EquitationHiatus]

So, he does not have Aspergers? What ASD does he have, and what kind of therapy has he had? (I have a kid sister who has Aspergers, she's developed dramatically over the past several years with Occupational therapy)

wow awesome we do somewhat the same thing with our boy

I thought the outing looked great. Thanks for posting the real thing. Good job coaching too. I don't know that it actually matters but I was wondering if there had ever been a diagnosis of Angelman's Syndrome?
