LONDON -- The Watch New Son (2020) Korean moviemother of an autistic child is challenging people's perceptions of the reality of living with autism through her blog.
Nicole Duggan from Cork, Ireland, created her blog two weeks ago to write about her son's journey since being diagnosed with autism and to raise awareness about the condition.
Since then, she's gained almost 2,000 followers and words of encouragement from people around the world.

Duggan describes her 3-year-old son Riley, who was diagnosed in June 2016, as "the happiest little boy in the world".
"He is non-verbal but he has started to use a little bit of sign language now. He loves cars, and he loves disney movies. And he LOVES music."

To the people that stare at him because he hums, join in with his little singsong because in his eyes he is singing the best song in the world.
To the mothers that pull their children away from him, you are creating the bullies of the future. Children don’t notice the differences. They just want to play. Let them.
To the lady that called him bold in the supermarket, try to look at things from his perspective. An overload of colours and sounds. People whizzing past you. You too would cry your eyes out if you could not tell anyone how you are feeling when it all gets too much.

Duggan says that she really hopes her blog makes a difference to people's attitudes. "Even if it changes one persons view on autism I'll be happy."
