When Brother was about 10, he started to question why he was continuing with his therapy. His two younger sisters needed speech therapy for articulation issues but were finished within a year to eighteen months. I explained to him that he had autism and that the therapies helped him in many areas. He didn't really understand but he's learning more and more what his weaknesses are.
As we were purging, I came across a picture of us where the children were holding disposable cameras. He wanted to know what he took pictures of. I told him he took pictures of the walls, ground, dirt, grass, etc. He then looked at me with a smile and said, "Well, that's autism for ya."
Who says people with autism don't have a sense of humor.
April is Autism Awareness month. This is the face of autism.
