One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran two half marathons here in Oregon, as well as the Warrior Dash. Had a blast, these were great experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have 5 years of experience working with autistic children, 1 in every 100 children is diagnosed autistic and the number is increasing and we still don't know (or won't admit) what causes it. Don't assume every autistic child is a savant, and definitely don't assume they can't hear or understand what you are saying. Every child is different and beautiful in their own way.
