My son was born in November of 2000. By the time he was a year and a half he had been diagnosed with autism and some had dismissed him as never being able to be a productive member of society.

Our house was filled with all sorts of early childhood development toys, books and movies. Typically when one of the “Baby Brain” videos would play we would have to sit and interact with him and video. After a while those types of videos got very dull and boring for me and for my son.

Being a Star Wars geek I put Empire in one day. My son sat and watched the opening Hoth battle with the same level of interest that he gave to the Baby Brain tapes. However once Luke crashed on Degobah and Yoda appeared suddenly my son was transfixed. He laughed at Yoda hitting Luke and studied Yoda with an intensity I’d never seen in him before. The rest of the movie played out and again he gave the same level of interest that he would for the other tapes. Every time Yoda was on screen my son would become a different person. Even as young as he was, I could see that Star Wars meant something to him.

It also meant that even if others would dismiss him as being less than a full person I knew that not to be the case. We shared a bond of father and son and Star Wars geek. My son has gone through some very intensive therapy over the years and today you’d never know that he was diagnosed and written off.

That is until you watch Star Wars with him. His intensity for watching the movies, experiencing the moment is just as strong today as it was almost 8 years ago.
