Autism Affects 1 in 70 boys.
MATERIALS: MLS backdrop paper, Crate Paper Toy Box- everything else |
My nephew Marcus is a beautiful being. Unaware of the complexities of human interaction, he moves through life interested in Star Wars, Lego and Godzilla... and chicken nuggets- can't forget those!
Today I will pause and try to imagine what it must be like for him to live in a world too full of sound, of light and strange rules he doesn't follow not because he chooses but because they are invisible to him- out of access.

| Such Goofballs! |
I want to ask all of you to pause as well- let's make a little room. For Marcus who will thrive with our encouragement and tolerance. For his Mom and Dad who work with him every day and shoulder the burden of a thousand judgmental stares. For his grand parents who love him deeply and worry just as much- and for you and me- we who perhaps aren't living with Autism directly but who are affected anyway because we love someone who is.
