Robert MacNeil talks about how the family deals with his grandson's autism. Blip over his daughter's belief that immunization shots caused autism and digestive track theories, and instead focus on the look at that woman's face and the sacrifices that she's made. (As Steve said, I better hurry up and finish Chapter 3.)

Thanks for sharing this. I found it really touching and the way you framed that segment where the mum talks about vaccines helped me to see past the argument to the person. I also loved it where Robert MacNeil dropped the professional persona to say to his granddaughter: But sometimes we all have to do things we don’t want to do.
(It just seemed like such a grandfatherly thing to say.:)
