That's what I get for being away for the weekend - hauling leaves not vacationing is what I was doing - and not deleting the link from my email before I left, so I forgot I had done it already. Oops...

In the US or Canada the reporter would have had to use a politically correct descriptor. Beak, Bill or Rostrum comes to mind. I just don't think Pecker would of made it? That being said, I like a happy ending.

Non-speaking teenager wrote an incredibly profound letter explaining autism

 

Having had some involvement with people on the autism spectrum, as well as attending a few seminars, this story really hits home. Autism is still misunderstood by so many people.

I'm not sure where to put this, but the end of the video is good news, and at the very least worth sharing.

How often have you heard it said, or said it yourself " We are just one big happy family!". My friends, this family is the epitome of what this often laughed at phrase, should mean. I think love & faith were and are this family's cornerstones.
