I was trying to get my autistic son to walk from my brother Mike's home to my sister Deb's in Philadelphia, a good two mile walk. I was trying to simplify it for him, but he was overwhelmed by it. It wasn't just the Kensington and Juniata neighborhoods, but their Christmas decorations, the endless pavement lines, and all those traffic lights. I ended up losing him for four days in a legal mess better written about elsewhere.
