This is the story of my little nephew, Max Hall. Max is 5 and attends the Mariposa School for Children with Autism in Cary, NC. He has no words, but through the intensive instruction at Mariposa, Max has learned sign language. Watch this video to learn more about how to help children with Autism. Early intervention is the key. Help these children by giving at: www.mariposaschool.org.

PLEASE check out a great Children’s book about Autism, PDD and ADHD called ‘Why Is He Different?’ (Please spread the word about this unique book, tell your friends and tell me what you think about it. Big thanks!!). You can preview it on youtube profile called Monalisaknew. Just copy and paste the following sentence in youtube search window: ‘Why Is He Different? (Autism Book)’
You can also buy this book on AthsePublishing(dot)com. Thank You !!
what an amazing story. there should be many more heather’s out there.
One has to wonder if Max would be doing better with an HFA teacher. What if Heather was HFA or Aspie like me? I want to change the world.
God bless 🙂
Is she a teacher or a Special Education-Educational Assistant

What a wonderful story. I know how much little Max and his wellbeing means to my friend Mary and I applaud the efforts of everyone who is working toward making his little life more beautiful – my thoughts are with you all the way from Australia!
This is so touching. So much progress is possible with the right environment. Beautiful and uplifting.
Shows you what progress can be made IF the right skills are available.
TEAM MAX!!!! It takes a village, and people like Mary willing to go to any length for her nephew, and to also help raise awareness for all the other special needs children desperately needing this kind of help.
