Thank you very much for sharing Zoe’s story. The world would definitely be a better place. Sometimes I think the autistic people are higher beings which are built in a better way than the rest of us are built. They are more progressed and know what is important and what should never be concerned. (My nephew is 9 years old now).

Hi there! When i read this post i just keept think about my daughter Zoe. She is 7 and was diagnosed ASD when she was 3 1/2. I find myself being very lucky; though most people who do not understand autism dont agree, that Zoe is high functioning. and i would not change this for the world. she ,like you mentioned about your nephew, looks apon life in a whole innocent way, she loves the ‘little’ things that we take for granted and when she smiles the whole room lights up! Zoe loves everyone and bears no grudges on anyone no matter what they do to her,she just asked why umu? but doent always understand. Sometimes i wish everyone could see the world through Zoes eyes. The would would be a better place i am sure!
Good luck to your family, i dont know how old your nephew is but i am sure you have had trying times and more to come, but it is all worth it! I know!

Accepting of people who are outside the norm was naturally the first lesson I’ve learned from him. Without knowing him and seeing how absolutely beautiful he is inside (as well as outside but it’s irrelevant) I would have stayed watchfully away from everything that is different.

I love the way you highlight the things that are beautiful about him. I wish our society was more accepting of people who are outside the norm. I wish everyone could see the beauty in being different.
