Brendan Fraser says trying to learn more about his son's autism diagnosis was 'like trying to get a straight answer out of a leprechaun.'
"I'm no expert on the varieties of spectrum disorders. I'm a dad, and that's what I can talk about," Fraser said."[Griffin] got a diagnosis, and we were thunderstruck, as I imagine many of you in the audience here can comprehend or understand because of the surprise that came with not knowing what to do."."No matter which medical text or source you consult, it's like trying to get a straight answer out of a leprechaun.
"What that let me know and what let his mom know, too, is that there are so many people who are there to help, and it's up to us, their parents, their families, their loved ones, to just have the courage to ask for it," he continued."And we can all do this together. Of all the individuals I've met over the years who have so much more experience in working with families and kids, they all say the same thing. We're all learning concurrently at the same time.
In 2018, the actor told GQ that Griffin has built a strong connection with their horse, Pecas."There's something good that happens between the two of them. And even if he doesn't ride him, just give him a brush. The horse loves it, the repetitive motion that kids on the spectrum have that they love. And it just works," he said."You know, you have to find those tools, strategies. If I ride, too, I just feel better. I just feel better.
