Addressing #Autism's misconceptions with creativity

May 31, 2012

There is so much misconception in the world about #Autism.  There is an assumption that kids in the spectrum are somehow less intelligent than their typical peers.

This however,  couldn't be farther from the truth. Kids on the #Autism spectrum are among the smartest there are.

What I think happens is that people make assumptions based on a child's behavior or ability to talk. That is a horrible mistake. While it's true that kids with #Autism can be challenging, present with major behavioral problems or maybe not be able to speak,  that it not a reflection of who they are on the inside.

My kids,  while extremely challenging,  are both super smart and very creative.

Today I want to share Emmett’s latest creation.

I can't remember what these blocks are called but they are a ton of fun for the boys.  Today,  Emmett was putting together silly creatures.  This was my personal favorite.

He didn't name it but who cares.  It's still pretty darn creative.
