Why Disney's 'Float' hit me hard as the mom of a boy with autism

If you don’t have Disney Plus, download it for the seven-day free trial just to watch the animated short “Float.” It hit me. Hard. So hard that when the big, ugly sob escaped my lips, my dog ran to check on me.

It happened at Ryan’s older brother’s soccer game. All the younger siblings were playing with a ball in the grass on a beautiful, sunny, fall day. They were passing the ball, running, giggling and just being “normal” kids. My 3-year-old autistic son was melting down from the sun, the wind, and the squeal of the referee’s whistle. This was before we heard the word autism. This was before I was educated. This was before I had support. This was when I was as alone as my son.
