The face of autism

with 5 comments

I love these videos my bestest friend and biz partner made to celebrate her little boy, age 5, who has autism. He is just AMAZING!

Here's the story — well, the first five years — in the life of Quinn: a wonderful, exuberant, mostly non-verbal boy with autism. You can see how the signs appeared over time, even before his diagnosis was made at 21 months. Music from Rob Dickinson/Catherine Wheel (www.RobDickinson.com)

A 5-year-old boy with autism, chased around with a video camera to capture some of the things he writes. (Quinn thinks this video is *hilarious* — has me play the Pixar scene over and over for him.)

  1. Oh, thank you for posting this! I'd seen the first one but not the second (with Quinn writing).
    He is an amazing kid. Tell Nancy I love the videos and her son is awesome, as is she…
