The day autism changed my life....

I work at the Perry County Board of DD as a Behavior Support Coordinator. I went to visit a little girl on the spectrum and fell in LOVE. She is courageous, makes her wants known, and seriously has issues with people who think they know, but actually don't. My life changed once I realized people who are on the spectrum are people! They are more intelligent than we can imagine because we don't think as intelligently as they do. Autism isn't a disability, it's an ability for beyond our imagination. Some are creative, others are geniuses, and some have an innate ability to read feelings and measure a persons worth. Truly amazed by the people in my life! I have the best job in the world!
