i was at a retreat this weekend and the topic of having the ability to love came up! It was discussed that many people believe that we with autism are not able to express love! This is so wrong! Just because we do not act like others does not mean we do not have the same emotions! We just process differently! We have trouble expressing feelings like others!i have feelings just like everyone else! Please be aware of that when around those of us with autism!

Hi Ann this is Sharonda From Giant steps i work in transition Kennedy. I never knew how much I could be inspired by kids I have encountered but reading your blog about emotions and Autism has changed my perspective on that. It was such a pleasure meeting you and getting a chance to work with you.
Much love in all of your future Endeavours,
