Los Angeles mom says kids with autism don't need 'fixing,' urges greater understanding amid spike in cases

Schwan Park, father of speed cuber Max Park, 21, tells Fox News Digital the story of his son's record-breaking achievement with Rubik's Cube: "We always knew he was good," he said. A mom of a child with autism is assuring other parents that their autistic children "do not need to be fixed" -- rather, they need to be better understood. Kelley Coleman, author of the upcoming book, "Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child," is encouraging other parents not to be afraid of seeking out diagnoses. "All that will do is keep us from being able to enable our children to be the best version of themselves," the Los Angeles-based mother of two said in an interview with Fox News Digital. Coleman's comments come as documented cases of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been on the rise.
