World Autism Day! by homeschoolmom

World Autism Day!

A different way of seeing things. This was originally a shot of the melting snow, but I edited it to resemble the universe. Today is World Autism Day. When my middle son was 7, doctors diagnosed him with Attention Deficit Disorder, but now nearly 7 years later, they think he may fall into the Autism Spectrum. He often sees the world differently then the rest of us do, sometimes spotting the tiniest little frog hiding in the woods while we are staring at the giant trees around us.

Great picture, great tribute. My youngest grandson is waiting for a diagnosis (ADHD/Aspergers)

This is so cleverly done, it looks like stars and a view of the universe. My grandson is autistic but on a low level and he has grown into a great teenager. Their thinking is definitely different.

@ceilidh So many things now fall under Autism and so many kids have it. One of my friends from high school has been diagnosed with it. He was our class valedictorian and is a physics professor at a fairly good sized university..

@jennywren That's what my son's pediatrician believes is his case as well. He'll be 14 next week.

Not only do we share the same bday but my daughter is now 19 and she is severe Autistic so I also wore light blue today for "Light it up Blue" today!
