A busker plays music for a blind autistic girl sitting in a wheelchair. She’s being allowed to stim (flapping and rubbing her shirt) and respond to the music her own natural way. The busker places her hand on the guitar to let her see what is creating the music, and she smiles as he sings to her.

They made a connection.

That is autism acceptance.

Take note. Many autistic people will open up to you like a flower if you gently connect with them in ways that work for them instead of forcing them to connect with you in ways that only work for you.

I hope that sweet kid grows up to be a musician or artist! 🙂

i remember when i was doing a religious simpsons painting in my painting 1 class and the professor had been talking about trends that annoyed him, specifically people painting bart back when he taught in the 90′s. i took my painting off the easel and turned it around and my 50-some year old professor had to cope with seeing imagery of bart simpson as a cherub 

OP where is the painting

me, holding the water gun with shaking hands, tears in my eyes: you’ve crossed me for the last time. you know the rules. it has to be this way

my cat, who has gotten onto the counter yet again: *purrs*

me, wiping away tears and steadying my hand: there’s nothing you can say to make this easier
