GUEST SUBMISSION: Autism Awareness Month

Today, April 1st, begins Autism Awareness Month.  This Guest Submission is in celebration of the families that know firsthand the struggles as well as the tremendous love and life lessons that come from caring for a person with autism.  To love a person with autism is to learn to see the world in a new way; the experience making you both, simultaneously, a kinder, gentler person, and a fierce, unwavering advocate.

I ask, for this April, for Autism Awareness Month, that you put yourself in the poetry of a moment of someone with autism.  Experience the world in a new way.

As the guest poster writes of this submission:

"This pic just makes me want to be more like R. everyday.  R. has no fear of the coronavirus.  He lives life fearless and limitless."
