ART for Autism awareness.
This symbolically represents the puzzling spectrum of Autism where things don't always quite fit the same as in the world for you and I.
This started off as a picture of "Joe" the family dog and I wanted to show my son what you can do in Photoshop in the hope it might spark some creative genius! :))
My 12 year old son has high functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I have seen his struggles and also seen huge successes... In fact just recently he broke THREE long standing high school records in athletics, beating his opponents in running by a country mile!!!
Believe me, I stood proudly with a tear in my eye.
Understanding, support and awareness is all that is required to ensure success in these amazing children.
I never much cared for these brown bermudas. Until today. I now see their inherent value to me, as my son still thinks I am a napkin/towel. Creeky grimy muddy hands? No problem! No problem at all with my hideous brown extra absorbent bermudas.
I think I'll also pick up a few brown tee shirts, too. He had a bloody nose on the walk today.

We were pleased to hear Steamtown would be running a Autism Special ahead of the advertised passenger train on Saturday morning. Sometimes you just get lucky. The train is seen here passing Mattes Street Tower on its way to Moscow.
The other day, Rob came up to me and said something that can best be typed as, "bPahhhdt." I, you know, was all like, "What honey?" And so he said it again and I was all like again. And again. And, I think, one more again.
Finally, he looked me square in the eye and said, very succinctly, ""bPahhhdt. bPahhhdt. P- A- T- H!" And he kind of widened his eyes for emphasis.
So, we went to the path, of course.
And I did not hand him a pad, or give him some fresh pants, or pat him on the head. Path.

By the way, I have Imagekinded myself. If you'd like a print of a photo not shown on the 'kind, let me know, okay?
Thank you again, Dan. And still. These photos will always be so special to me. Always.
Robbie is now playing games. He gets it. This is the end of the game where I sneak my phone into his stroller (after faking him out with that "Hey! Look over there, dude!" ruse) and he discovers it, giggles, then tries to hand it back to me.
It's an awesome game.
Most of us would just take in beauty with our eyes but my daughter, having autism, explores things on a much deeper level. She is amazing and inspirational.

Thank you kindly Gil.
Today it is World Autism acceptance and awareness day. Yes I have it, also ADHD. My biggest special interest are lampposts. So I combined two of my hobbies, lampposts and Lego.
visit Artists and Autism on Facebook.. it's a wonderful place to see the artwork of folks on the Autism Spectrum.. Take some time to educate yourself about Asperger's Syndrome and Autism.. You'll be glad you put forth the effort.. Knowledge is power..
Art for Autism.
Artism is an independent organisation aiming to create a book bursting with artists/graphic designers work which will be sold to raise money for the National Autistic Society charity through the use of Art.
I did this piece to collaborate with this great project. You remember the sketch? well this is the result. The only slight restrictions are black and white followed by one of the chosen colours So I choose a purple.

Arte por el Autismo.
Artism es una organisacion que recauda fondos para National Autistic Society. Como? selecciona artistas de todo el mundo para que donen sus piezas y asi venderlas con el fin de ayudar a chicos con esta enfermedad.
Tuvieron la gran idea de hacer un libro y me pidieron que participe. Este es el resultado, ya les habia mostrado el boceto, se acuerdan? bueno como la consigna era que sea blanco y negro con la inclusion de un solo color, yo elegi una especie de purpura. Podria ser un tributo a Purple Rain the Prince no? jaja.Chau, me fui.

Its my sons favorite carnival of the year, especially since the local Star Wars club brings out their best costumes. Most of these were shot with my 45 and 75 f/1.8.
Let's turn blue for the #autism awareness day ...for those people and their lovely world .a world that few people allowed to enter ,people that they fight daily supporting them and trying with patience to find their secret paths to their mind ..and what a lovely journey that is if you dare to make it ..I did and I found strength I found creativity I found art to every thought that they make ..they're just in another dimension higher than us more powerful and if observation is a habit of yours too,more beautiful than our "fake" dimension full of hypocrisy ,stupidity and many other things that make me sick just to mention them ..I'd love to thank you all for your love and support to my #autism_project_2014 ... ️ it was the less We could do to give those amazing people the attention they deserve to have !!!
For Throwback Thursday. This picture of my daughter and son was taken at the annual Autism Awareness walk in April, 2011. The event was held at the Jones Stadium at Texas Tech University.
In the largest study of its kind to date, researchers have used DNA sequencing to uncover dozens of genes that heighten the risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

... I was thinking that April is the National Autism Awareness Month And cause i work with kids with autism and special needs generally and I love their world the least I can do is to create something for all of them and challenge everyone to create art so people will know and share their personal experiences and thoughts... that autism is not a disease for example ... Let's see this year what people will post for those wonderful people. A photo text to keep it to their feed for one hour? Or a post that they'll be proud of and think how important is to support those people not for an hour but always ... Be creative and don't forget .art is to become human again !
