Description This is a special person in my life. His favorite color is green. His favorite sport is soccer, and his favorite music is found on the Guitar Hero games. Like a lot of kids, he goes to school, and his favorite subject is reading. He loves swimming, computer games, and eating. He likes to dress up as Spider Man for Halloween, and wishes he could be Spider Man in real life. He has his own likes, dislikes, talents, and quirks. He breathes air, his heart beats, his mind thinks, and he has feelings. Oh yeah, by the way, he has autism, but really he’s just another human like you and me, and loves to be treated as one.

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away." - Henry David Thoreau

Faves, features, comments, and watches are always welcome and extremely appreciated. Thank you for any support in advance (although I will try to thank you personally, sometimes life gets in the way)! If you use this picture, please send a link!

Update: To answer a frequent question I'm seeing: Yes, I am sharing with him his feedback, and no, he didn't technically write the text himself, but he did to the best of his ability, so he deserves the credit. In my opinion, yes he wrote it and deserves the credit because he did his very best and that's all anyone can do.

Autism Awareness is IMPORTANT! I agree completely! I might not be autistic, but my brother is and I love him! And so does every girl in his class!

Thats amazing (: i am so happy you made this, my sister is autistic and people did treat her like she was stupid in school because of it, she's finished school and has got a masters degreee in Information technology and is currently working on getting a masters degree in buisness aswell (: From how she was treated during her school years she rose above it. But it makes me sad that some people just don't understand that autism isnt an excuse to treat a person with the condition badly. I Really love that you did this, it's absolutly amazing, you both deserve every single praise that is going to come out of this deviation (: This completely made my day, im happy that i got the privilage to see this, i hope that this sends out a messige to people that People with autisim are people just like you and me (:

Super adorable!
People with autism are humans like the rest of us.
They shouldn't be treated differently from anyone else

Amen to that, friend.
I have a minor form of autism and I hate being treated like I'm inferior to 'regular people'.
This really touched my heart I'm glad it got a DD

Absolutely perfect photo. My mother used to foster kids with varying abilities and we often had autistic kids around when i was growing up.

He's a cutie and well done to him and yourself for this amazing photo that captures the feeling so well!

My Nephew is Autistic. It appalls me how people, even full grown adults with children of their own, act towards him. He is four, his name is Gage, and he is beautiful
This picture made my day, thank you for sharing it.

HE IS SO CUTE! And I love the message this photo portrays! I had a couple of friends back in middle school who were autistic, and I HATED it when people treated them completely different from everyone else > No one deserves to be treated different because of who they are
