Back to the Drawing Board

A problem!
Thats what I need! A problem to solve!
Puddin Wuddin and his great adventures will have too wait...The Mdes project requires we solve a problem.
But what problem?
Autism
I have grown up with my brother John. And to me John has always being John. No ifs, buts or otherwise. He is who he is and thats why everyone loves him. I can't really remember when or how I found out that John had autism/ aesberger syndrome. To top it all off I am not even 100% sure what the condition is. As I say, John is John. Thats the way we all view him and everyone takes him as he is. The only thing I have noticed and that does frustrate me is the lack of understanding some people have with John or anyone with a simialr condition. I know John seems different. He acts out on the occasion but that is his little way of dealing with situations. I wish that people wouldnt be so rude and stare at him as he walks into a restaurant or a shop. I find it kind of ignorant. I know he is acting a little bit different. Each to their own. If you want a camera....I normally carry one with me so we can get a group photograph.
Okay maybe thats a little harsh.
I just think people need to learn a little bit more about the condition. Maybe if we can understand it a little better we will have a better understanding of the person and we can work together alot easier. So I am going to base my project around autism and raising awareness about the condition. It will be a lot of researching and learning but hey....I can do that!
