Max is excited about the autism walk and wants his team to win. Kristina wonders if they should talk to him about his diagnosis. The Braverman team have been having trouble. Sarah and Haddie argue over the same boyfriend. But perhaps the heartbreaking scene is when everybody else realized that Max has Aspergers (a form of autism) and doesn't realize his diagnosis. While I applauded the series for dealing with Autism/Aspergers, I wished they had dealt more with the wide range of children on the spectrum.

Kudos to the Braverman family members who didn't attend the Autism Speaks walkathon. Hopefully the show, further down the line, will show that the best way to support autism is to accept autistic people for who they are and not support sn organization with a history of treating autism as a monster or disease.
Who would Max be if he wasn't Autistic? Would he be the driven child who pushes everyone to get enough steps in? Would he be the child who is super passionate about reptiles? The kid who insisted on wearing a pirate costume to school?
For those who see autism as a tragedy or "situation", who do they think they will be left with if the autism is taken away?
