Faces of Autism
Autism isn’t just a word you see in your newsfeed or you hear on the news. It’s these kids (and adults too) right here in our community. They are the center of their parent’s universe. They make us laugh and cry. They motivate us to be better people and to leave the world a better place. They are amazing.
