Was a little down this afternoon so I headed off to the old girls in Clunes. Thought I'd have a quick explore around a creek I played in as a kid and found this. Pitty all the sunny days are gone otherwise I'd retake this during the golden hour. Oh well. This was a 3 shot HDR. Wasn't very beneficial using HDR over a single RAW but I went to the trouble of doing it so I used it.

What matters
There are many myths and theories surrounding autism.
Autism has been around longer that it has had a name and much longer than many of the theories below were even invented.
Did I shampoo our dog?
Or was I specially chosen by god?
When pregnant was I stressed?
Or did the devil my son possess.?
Is C the next stage of evolution?
In there air was there pollution?
Did I conceive in late spring?
Do I remember if it was raining?
Is C a crystal child waiting to ascend?
Or is he one of the mutant X-Men?
Was it the mercury fillings I had?
Or the triple vaccine MMR jab?
Was it my lipstick that was red?
Or the mobile phone near my head?
Could it be a food allergy?
Or my disordered personality?
Was it the smoking and drinking which was bad?
Or C having an older dad?
Was I a cold refrigerator mom?
Who always had the TV on?
Or does C have an extreme male brain?
Many things that would explain!
C wasn’t held to ransom,
Nor is he a victim or a madman.
Words hit like a fist - like Retard
Or he’s a brat whom I didn’t spank hard.
It doesn’t matter to me what was the cause
Or the whys and wherefores.
As if you look at my family tree
Its more than plane to see!
What matters is the here and now,
Not the why, not the how.
Autism has made C who he is today
I wouldn’t have him any other way.
I support him, I help him as best I can.
I love him for who he is. C a wonderful young man.

Here I have drawn a child who I worked with at a summer camp who struggles with his Disorder; Autism. My goal is to artistically and externally present his lifestyle. This is through ongoing research, surveys and analysis.
Autism means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age three, which adversely affects a child’s educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual response to sensory experiences.

That little purple daisy has become part of my own healing as I begin to accept my daughter's diagnosis. I love the transformation from a simple flower to my own version of the symbol for autism.
In February 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued their ADDM autism report, which looked at a sample of eight year olds in 2000 and 2002. This report found that autism is increasing, with one in every 150 American children and almost one in 94 boys having the disability.

My sister and niece have autism, so I just wanted to show our society that autism does not mean you are "mentally challenged" or there is something wrong with you...their brain just functions differently. They are very smart and special though. While we don't have the cure for autism (yet), we just need to shower them with love and understanding, and they need to know that we are here for them.
If you're puzzled by this person's behavior, it's not his lack of discipline. He is mildly autistic. People with autism are often confused, upset or could be scared and react in ways that are socially inappropriate. They sometimes find it hard to cope with many everyday situations and are quite simply doing their best. Please be understanding and patient.

My younger brother was diagnosed with asperger’s syndrome a few years ago. I took this photo as a way to try to spread awareness of the autism spectrum. I’m still learning about it, and I’m by no means an expert, but I am trying to understand. I used the pattern of the autism awareness ribbon as inspiration. Imagine trying to put together a puzzle, but you’re missing most of the pieces, and the pieces you do have don’t seem to fit together in any coherent way. That’s just a fraction of what I imagine it might be like to have autism. We tend to take eye contact, subtle facial expressions, and bodily queues for-granted. Try to think about how it is for those who don’t see these social queues. But I believe there is hope. If we combine efforts, I believe we can put the pieces of this puzzle together. Sometimes it can be hard, but we all try to understand each other.
This is my eye. I painted on it.
