Young Colorado photographer shows that 'Autism is Boundless Creativity'

Quote:
Morgan is an 11-year-old photographer. Morgan also has Autism.

"April is Autism Awareness month so I figured I should do something for it! I asked my friend Max if he would help me make this picture I had been thinking about," Morgan wrote.

Max and Morgan spray-painted 300 puzzle pieces blue.

I've posted the article to my Facebook wall. I feel that more people need to be thinking about the box when it comes to autism. Far too often, we're shoved into dismal boxes by strangers and people that we know.

As mm2wood would say, "nice >:]".

EDIT: I once dabbled in a bit of photgraphy in high school, but this kid is already showing off his stuff at 11. See my initial comment.
