SJ’s First Post

This week, 9 year old SJ said that he wanted to write a comment about autism on my blog. I told him that if he had something to write, he could write a post. Here it is, unedited:

I am a kid with autism and I come up with tips on things. This will make hope for autism. Here are a few places that you can use tips: karate, home, movies, and horseback riding. Here’s one: try your best!!! Here’s #2: stop if you need to. Now, for #3 (in case you play a game): quitters never win, and winners never quit.

    SJ - Your list is awesome. (It is better than any that David Letterman put together). I look forward to more tips from you.
