VIDEO: Autism: A look from inside the family
Autism may be represented by the news or a textbook as just another disorder affecting people today, but it’s more. When I was younger, I couldn’t understand the good that could come from autism. It’s not the end of the world, and it has shaped my life for the better.
My goal is to increase autism awareness, and the hope that can be associated with it. I have a desire to continue to spread autism awareness and to help those affected by the disorder — both children and their families.
