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: I am very proud that you want to share your tips with other people. It’s great that you are learning to try to help others.

@SJ -
Your words are very wise. I am trying to teach my sons these same lessons. Thanks you for writing this.

SJ, Thanks for the tips. I will put them in to practice in my life and share them with my own kids as well as the children I teach!

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