Different NOT less

This post will not have a

lot of pretty pictures

only words.......

 

but I hope you will read it anyway

 

We have a couple in our neighborhood

that have a grown autistic daughter

 

Her name is Cassie

She is delightful, funny, honest

and yes, a little different

She is who she is and we love that about her!!

 

But the world does not like anything

out of the "Norm"

 

It puts us out of our comfort zone

 

But different does not mean less

 

I have first hand experience in this matter

My grandson is dyslexic

He learns differently

It's not a bad thing, just a fact

(actually I consider it a gift)

but our public schools are not set up

for any child that does not fit

the "normal" mold

 

We need to change our thinking

and understand that people

who think and learn differently

 can make a real difference

in our world

 

 We need people with

different minds!!!

 

Some of those who think differently than us

have accomplished great things.....

 

Mozart, Isaac Newton and Einstein

were all autistic

 

and the following were dyslexic

Nelson Rockefeller

Alexander Bell

Leonardo da Vinci

Pablo Picasso

George Patton

John Lennon

Steven Spielberg

 

different minds, but great minds

 

Every Little Birdie says,

 

Let's embrace our differences

and learn from one another
