The Taylor Crowe Success Story

Great article about Taylor Crowe, a 26-year-old who has autism.  With the help of his parents and other kids, he grew up learning strategies on how to make eye contact and how to handle himself in social situations.  The results of their work created a program called "Growing up with Autism."  It is one of four speeches that Taylor does to educate others about autism and how to interact with people who have that condition.

Taylor also is working on a book called My Friend with Autism.  It's about a boy named Alex who has autism.  Taylor plans on writing a series of books featuring Alex as he grows up.

Thanks for the help, Taylor!
