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.

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?

I aksed my friend, Dan, to photograph Rob and me. I always wished I had someone around to catch some of this stuff. These make me infinitely happy. Thanks, D.

 

Check out Rob's smile!

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.

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.

we celebrated autism awareness month today.

being different is not necessarily a bad thing... sometimes it just means being brighter

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.

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 !!!

PLEASE READ BELOW

... 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 !

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).

The walk is the first Sunday in June in White Plains.

I could not be prouder of my oldest son. He has an Autism Spectrum Disorder - close to Asperger's but not quite. This is coupled with a general anxiety disorder, hearing loss, and an auditory processing disorder. Truly the cards were stacked againt him from day one. Therapists never gave me much hope that he would ever begin to thrive or be able to do well on his own. I never gave up on him and got him all the help I could find, but let me tell you, this child WORKED so hard at overcoming what life threw at him. It pained me to watch him struggle, and many years of frustration on both our ends led to tears. I never lost hope because HE was my strength, he showed me what it is to be an overcomer and achiever.

 

He spent many nights in his younger years crying while he did his homework but he never gave up. He came home baffled why things were they way they were. Day by day, he worked, learned, and plodded forward, defying the odds. He became an all around performer any parent would be proud to call their child.

 

Despite the odds, he has blossomed into a successful, well liked, sincere, kind-hearted young man. He made straight A's all the way through school and is graduating NHS in the top 10% of his class. He has excelled in AFJROTC as part of the leadership team (these are the top 8 kids that run the show out of about 160 cadets), he has led most every unit and club within the organization, has created new opportunities, tutored other kids, and spent countless hours doing community service. He has spent more hours at community service in his corps than any other cadet has ever served. He has a servant's heart. He cares nothing about money or living in the limelight. This young man wants to dedicate his life to helping others. He wants to help his community in any way he can.

 

After much consideration, he has accepted a scholarship to Texas Lutheran University. It is a small and fairly expensive school here in Texas, which is about 30 minutes from home ... although he will be living in the dorms. He chose this school knowing it's small size would be much a much better suited learning environment for him. Also, they offer a business degree with an emphasis in non-profit and communications. He knows what he wants and he goes after it. We would never be able to afford to send him to TLU, but he earned the highest scholarship they offer, which pays for half of his room and board, tuition, books, etc.

 

I think back to the times I doubted he would make it to this point and I am so glad I never gave up on him, but prouder still that he never gave up on himself. Everywhere we go classmates see him and girls hug him and tell him hello. He's not a social creature, but nevertheless, the love in his heart must shine through even to his peers because he was never picked on, and people genuinely like him.

 

I could never put into words how proud of my baby I am. So if any of you have a "borderline" child .. have hope, never give up, lift them up every chance you can, love them for who they are, for their uniqueness, encourage them and just LOVE THEM. You will get your reward. He doesn't see the world through the same glasses the rest of us do, but in my book, that's a good thing. I love this child and I now have complete confidence he is ready to fly on his own. So all you nay sayers along the way ... he showed you, didn't he!
