The face of autism
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.)
