Thank you she is doing so well! She is talking a little but can read and spell so she types her thoughts on her iPod touch or uses sign language! She was recently tested at school and is keeping up with her neurotypical peers in most areas! Zoe is a true character , friendly, funny, and helpful! I am overwhelmed by the progress she is making and I promise to post and update video soon!

Wow! Stunning, touching! This actually made me tear up! I loved every second, every picture. She is an angel, you are very blessed to have such a great child. I also love your quote "She is free from the shackles of normalcy that oppress. those who surround her" - AMAZING!

thank you ...ireally appreciate your feedback

I'm so proud of you. You see the person beyond the condition and the blessings of it too. My father could see that in me. Zoe and I had the same gaze. In my case due to meaning blindness, lack of simultaneous processing of self and other (so face goes blank when registering other as self goes offline) and face blindness. Warmly,

Its interesting that you call her your 'rainbow'. You couldnt be more right. A rainbow is a promise of God. She is your promise. More parents should have the love for their child that you have. She is beautiful.

I don't know whats more beautiful! The video of your precious girl or your love for her that is so evident. My Mya also has autism but autism doesnt have her. Thanks for making me smile and for sharing Zoe with us.

I don't think Phil's comment was in any way negative! I'm surprised at you people, it's blatant honesty! It's not sugar-coated - it's something we all should think about, and I'm seriously mulling it over, having two Autistic cuties in preschool - what do I want to teach them - that they are disabled and broken, or differently abled and supremely unique individuals - incredible gifts from God? I vote the latter!

My 14 yrs old boyfriend has Autistic plus he has Down Syndrome. At school he has a aid at Madonna School Serving Special Students. I am 16 years old girl with Cerebral Palsy. I love Andrew because he is my sweetie protector for me.

I love you Andrew

This video was posted on my 14th birthday! Wonderful!!! "Her complexities are buried deeply in her silence." I love that line. Not because silence is easy, but because you understand that she is very complex. I love your observations. "amazing, complex, and stunning" That's great too. Again, fabulous video.
