As I write, I am watching a documentary (Wretches & Jabberers) with my love about a couple of autistic gentleman who go around the world advocating, teaching others about autism. 

They talk about the rough time they had growing up and they continue having in their life - having a difficulty communicating with others.

Despite their difficulty, they are rising above it and making a difference in the world. They are out there teaching and shedding awareness to others - breaking misconceptions the public might have an autism. 

I believe that knowledge is one of the most powerful things in this world. 

I am thankful for individuals like them who are overcoming obstacles in their lives to  go out there and make a difference in the world.

If that is you - rising high above obstacles in life, going out there to educate and make a difference - thank you!
