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.
