Andrew - Non-verbal Autism and Communication - PART II

13 year old, Andrew has learned to communicate by pointing to a stencilboard made by his grandfather. He has been communicating this way now for over 4 years, slowly becoming more and more accurate. In this video, Andrew explains the difference communication has made in his life. He is currently mainstreamed in 8th grade classes, and is a member of the National Junior Honors Society.

Andrew, you definitely found the winning lottery ticket by using the letter board! You have achieved so much in your short 13 years and are already a productive citizen :) Can't wait to see what you do next!!! Keep up the good work!

Hey Andrew,

It's Maggie, I think your video is really cool! It's so cool that you are able to type so many big words. I think the letter board idea was a really good idea. Tell your sis I said hi.

Andrew,

This was a great video. Not only did I learn more about you and how you feel but you helped me to understand more about the autistic community. You are a wonderful representative and I feel great things are to come from your powerful words and thoughts. Your mom also does a great job too, don't you think? mrs. Emily
