One of the good things about Autism

Those with autism can have some amazing skills that they wouldn’t have if they were “cured”. For example, look what I found in my son’s room today:

Does it look familiar?

How about now?

He is amazingly good at drawing logos (especially for an 8 year old). If he sees something more than once he usually tries to draw it. The PBS and Paramount logos are his favorite lately, but NBC, Ford, 20th Century Fox and the History Channel also pop up here and there. We have a friend who is paying good money to learn to do what our son does naturally.
