Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te matua i tohu i tētahi 'pikey' i te wā o tētahi rerenga noho tata mō ngā rama Kirihimete ka whakawātea i a rātou i tēnei pō. Ko Kevin Franklin, no Dunstable, Bedfordshire, e kii ana ka hurihia e ia ana rama i ia ahiahi i te marama o Paenga-whāwhā mo te marama o Autism Awareness. Ko te tama a Mr. Franklin, e 15 tau te pakeke, a Bradley, he autistic, ā, e hiahia ana te whānau ki te whakamahi i tana whakaaturanga rama Kirihimete ki te whakanui ake i ngā mahi atawhai e mahi ana ki te hunga hauā. Ka whakairi a Kevin Franklin i ana rama Kirihimete ki mua o tona whare i te pō nei mō te marama mōhiotanga Autism. I whakaarahia e te papa 53-tau te rama ki runga i tana whare kaunihera i te marama o Noema i mua i te Kirihimete. Engari kaore i tangohia e ia i te marama o Hānuere nā te mea i hiahia ia ki te huri anō i ngā rama i te marama o Paenga-whāwhā mō te marama o te mōhiotanga ki te autism. Ko te noho tonu o ngā rama i roto i ngā wiki tata nei kua riri i ētahi hoa noho, nā reira i puta ai he reta pātata i te marama o mua. Ka pānui: 'Kua hoha ahau ki te kite i ō koutou rama Kirihimete pōhēhē o te whare kaunihera. Ko te marama o Poutu-te-rangi, mo te pai o te Atua. Ko tō whare he mea whakamā ki tēnei hapori ataahua. 'He āhua nei he kāwanatanga. Ka puta mai ano he koromatua mamae. Kāore au e hiahia ki te haere tonu i te taha o tēnei mea whakamataku, i ia wā e haere ana au, ka hamama aku tamariki. E mohio ana ahau e noho ana koe i roto i te whare kaunihera, engari kahore he take ki te hanga i te reira titiro rite tetahi. ' Ka mutu te reta 'He mihi nui, he tangata tino riri.' I pupuri tonu te matua i a rātau i muri i te Kirihimete i mua i te wiki o te autism, nā te riri o ētahi o ngā hoa noho tata. Ko te noho tonu o te marama, i akiaki i tētahi kainoho o te rohe ki te tuhi i tēnei karere kino ki a Mr Franklin. I kī a Mr Franklin, nā te hauora i reti mai i te mahi i muri i tana whiu i ngā whiu e rua, i te mate pukupuku, i te pō nei: 'Ka whakaarahia e au ngā rama i te pō nei ina pouri ana, ā, ka whakaweto anōtia i te 10 i te pō. Ka puta tēnei i te marama o Paenga-whāwhā mō te marama o te mōhiotanga ki te autism. 'Koinei tonu taku mahere, koia hoki, i te marama o Hanuere, i whakatau ai ahau kia kaua e tangohia atu, i te mea e mohio ana ahau ka whakaarahia ano e au i te marama o Paenga-whāwhā. 'Kia tangohia e ahau nga rama i muri i te Paenga-whāwhā engari inaianei...
Ko te papa o te taiohi autistic i pupuri i nga rama Kirihimete ki te whakanui i te mohio. Engari i tukuna mai e te hoa noho riri he reta kino ki a ia e kii ana he 'he kanohi kanohi' Kei te whakaaro ia ki te huri i a rātou ki te tautoko i te Mahinga Whakaaro Autism. E mea ana te kaitiaki o mua ka pupuri ia ia tae noa ki te tau e whai ake nei 'i waho o te kaupapa'
