Meghan's Crayons

A Young Autistic Girl Changes the World with Her Crayons

I've had the privilege, over the years, to have met some incredibly talented people who are autistic. Not only do they exhibit areas of incredible talent, but I always appreciate their sincerity and their stance for what they believe in. I feel that my life has been enriched by these relationships and by being able to peek at what the human brain is capable of.

This story kept calling me. I knew I wanted to write it and I hesitated for quite awhile. I knew that as soon as I started it would nag me every possible moment until it was completed. I was right. There was a ton of research poured into this story and I lost a lot of sleep while writing it. The last paragraph was written when I arrived early for a lunch party with a dear visiting friend. "Where's Tim? Oh, he's in the living room, madly typing on his laptop."

I dedicate this to my two dear friends who gave me the inspiration to write this story. Thank you, Asia and Roman.
