Pope Francis Blesses Child With Disabilities on Easter

“The moving images of this Easter Sunday moment at the Vatican have spread around the world over the last few days. Greeting followers in St. Peter’s Square from the “Popemobile,” Pope Francis called for 8-year-old Dominic Gondreau, who suffers from cerebral palsy, to be raised up to him. He proceeded to hug Dominic, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Paul Gondreau, a theology professor at Providence College, had traveled with his wife and children to Rome to teach for a semester. He was shocked to see his son in the arms of the newly elected pontiff, and he shared the amazing experience with Megyn Kelly on America Live.

Gondreau said he was seated with his four other children further away from the pope. Dominic and his mother, Christina, had been summoned earlier by the Swiss Guards to move into a closer seating area with other disabled children.

Gondreau said one of his other sons pointed out what was happening, telling him it was actually Dominic that was being held by Pope Francis.

“(My son) said the pope is holding Dominic! That’s when I looked up at the Jumbotron and beheld  this grand moment and was immediately moved to tears with my son. I will cherish that memory forever,” he said.”

Yes, even the wisdom of Maxine has a touch of behavior advice with an environmental / visual manipulation.  = )

“Autism does not define me.” by Miss Montana

Alexis is very correct. Too many think that Autism is only about deficits.

People with Autism also have abilities, talents, positive feelings and dreams.

 

 

Summer Swim Suits and Down Syndrome

I had to share this ADORABLE ad of a 10 month old child with down syndrome.

It is just awesome that this child represents a swim wear line for DC Kids.

Kudos to the companies who are promoting ALL kinds of people.

Miss America Pageant and Autism

 

 

When I came across this, I thought it was AWESOME and just had to feature this positive story here on my blog.

Alexis Wineman is Miss Montana and she has Autism. She will be competing for the Miss America crown. The show will air live  Saurday on ABC January 12, 2013 at 9pm ET in Las Vegas.

I normally do not watch the Miss America pageant, though this year I most likely will tune in because of Alexis. I am very interested to see her comedy talent routine.

Also Alexis needs your support- you can vote online for her through January 10th here at this link;  http://www.missamerica.org/videocontest/

When asked what she will do if she does not win the crown, Alexis will continue her public awareness speaking about Autism. What a special lady she is.

 

Good Luck to Alexis!  I think she is a beautiful inspiration  inside and out.

Autism is not just about deficits, it is also about positive ABILITIES.
