And this is my brother, Kyle Jaynes. He was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 2, and is still fighting at age 9.

Alot of people don’t reblog this because it will make their blog look ugly. But I can assure you, this won’t.

Aww, he’s so cute. :)

“Autistic and Seeking a Place in an Adult World”

It isn’t often that there is an inspiring, non-political story on the front page of a newspaper, above the fold. The Sunday edition of The New York Times features tiny sketches of cartoon characters from Justin Canha’s journal.

“For weeks, Justin Canha, a high school student with autism, a love of cartoons and a gift for drawing, had rehearsed for the job interview at a local animation studio. As planned, he arrived that morning with a portfolio of his comic strips and charcoal sketches, some of which were sold at a Chelsea gallery…” —Amy Harmon for The New York Times

The story of this one young man’s desire to become a “famous animator-illustrator” and his teacher Kate Stanton-Paule’s special education program to help autistic youth “transition to adulthood” is worth reading. If you weren’t able to get a physical copy of The New York Times, there is a substantial amount of content available online, along with supplemental visuals and videos.

I also recommend taking a look at Canha’s Animated Cartoon Timeline featuring Mickey Mouse, Sesame Street, The Simpsons, Shrek, and more.

I could be a manic-pixie-dream-girl, right? That was like the epitome of different, and I was so very, very different…

I discovered, though, that manic-pixie-dream-girls don’t bang their heads, and when someone touches them they know how to let themselves be touched.

christina-taylor:

This guy is amazing. An autistic man nicknamed “the Human Camera”. After just one 40-minute helicopter ride over Rome - the first time he’d ever seen Rome from the air - he was able to draw a near-perfect depiction of the city from the view he’d seen it, including minor side-streets and the correct number of windows in buildings!

amazing.

On the train, I met a twenty year old kid named Samuel. I immediately knew he was autistic upon meeting him. But, god, this kid was smart. He started telling me about trains, and how the particular rail we were traveling originated. He asked me my name and told me the meaning. He knew all about…
