Seahawks legend Curt Warner shares family’s struggles raising twins with autism

“But they were parents who would be pushed beyond anything they could imagine when the twins became teenagers. Unable to communicate and frustrated by it, Austin and Christian would kick holes in the walls, bite themselves bloody and bang their heads against the floor. But the Warners say, they hit rock bottom in February 2008.
“When I open his bedroom door fire is everywhere,” Ana recalls.
Austin had found a lighter. Their house burned. All of Curt’s keepsakes and awards from a remarkable football career and all of the families belongings were lost in the fire.”

After reading this article, I put every lighter in the house up in a top shelf cupboard.
Wow.

I used to watch Curt playing football as a kid. I completely understand where he’s coming from, not opening up about it for 20 years. I don’t know what I would do without a social network and support system when facing the challenges of autism with Jonah. Wow.
