My cousin is autistic and throughout my life I have spent a lot of time with him both alone and in large settings. I have babysat him and his two siblings for the past four years. I also volunteer for a program that he participates in which promotes children with special needs to get involved with sports. I love seeing the smile on their faces when they are having fun and succeeding. I have also worked with a diabetic child and a child with peanut allergies.
