Inspirational tale...


Good evening... I wanted to share this inspiring New York Times article about this very real, and for many, daily struggle of living with a member with Autism.  I want us to all give a big round of applause for the Canha family, and hats off to Ms. Stanton-Paule.  The article is very long, but do take some time to read through it and watch the video

I do not want to be political on this page, but I just want to share my hope that real change will come soon; that children and adults with disabilities will find the resources and support they need in Kuwait and worldwide.

Justin Canha, a young artist with autism, prepares for life as an independent adult. Links to special features with Mr. Canha and his art can be found in the article text.
