'I'm running for my autistic son'

He swore at his teacher (using a particularly offensive word he just happens to like the sound of), he went over to a bigger boy in the park and licked his ice cream, then he told a woman out walking her dog that he doesn't like dogs except when they are turned into hot dogs. Dylan is autistic, you see, and so sees the world a bit differently. He finds it a stressful place; there is too much going on so he is prone to sensory overload, he also doesn't really get social interaction - how to act with other people, how to build and maintain friendships, how conversations work. I'm with him on that one, to be honest. What autism needs isn't a cure, quacks claiming gluten causes it, or jabs or whatever; what it needs is simply greater awareness.
