At midpoint of the semester, I made a connection with a parent advocate at the Autism Society of North Carolina. She is also has a 23 year old autistic son. I met with her for over two hours. During that visit, she provided useful information and shared stories about her son. Meeting with her informed decisions I made in the "exchange" portion of the parent experience.
After final review, I met with the same parent advocate and one other parent to share the final outcome of the project. I was very nervous to show them the results as they were the true experts in the community. They had very positive feedback and wanted to know when and how they could use the system. I felt like I had teased them with something they could really use. We did brainstorm other ideas that would be helpful for their autistic children as well as themselves. Their response to my project made it feel worthwhile and inspired me to continue further exploration.
