Autism often produces unique abilities. Sam has an amazing sense of sight. I don’t see heightened senses as intrusions but as opportunities. Temple Grandin writes, “Developing these abilities can make life fulfilling for a person with Autism.” Her words jogged my memory of Sam, age 5, taking a picture of my daughter and me that I had in a locket until it sadly broke. Ms. Grandin’s words is the reason I placed a camera in his hands. These are my stories of the journey of Sam and his camera.
