ST. GERMAIN - Doctors don't know why they're diagnosing more and more children with autism. It’s hard to know what therapy works best for each child.
Today at Camp AweSum in St. Germain, kids on the Autism Spectrum got a chance to interact with horses.
"I saw him smiling up there, just kind of spontaneously. I think the horse kinda shook and he thought that was kinda funny," said Becky Howell-Adams, the mother of a 9 year old with autism.
For some autistic children smiles are hard to come by. Making a connection like that people or animals is special.
