My brother is 2 years younger than me. He has autism. Initially, doctors said he would never talk or walk but now he is fairly independent and has had the best support to help him get to where he is. I've spent my life learning a lot of patience, understanding, and how to dodge a punch or a kick;) He has taught me about perseverance and how to have joy in hard times. I've always loved being around people with disabilities and learning from them and being able to help them. As an adult, I've worked in a workshop with adults with disabilities and now I currently work in an elementary as a one on one special education aide. I love my peeps and seeing them smile and laugh and their ability to make me smile and laugh with them. They are truly blessings to this world.
