Up until about 5 or 6 years ago, I was completely unaware of what Autism was. I then met a dear friend of mine who is the mother to a beautiful autistic child. I have learned over the years more and more about the disorder and I find it fascinating.
We were told to pick any topic to write a research project on for one of my classes and I chose "A Look into Autistic Gender Differences".
Along with the paper, we were to create a project in any type of medium that we chose. I chose to create a video which gives a very small peek into the life of Abbi.
Abbi is an amazing little girl. You can't help but to have compassion for her and to be in awe of how her world works!
Take a peek at the video and feel free to pass along! The more Autism Awareness, the better!

Thank you so much for sharing this Christina, and for putting so much work and heart into your presentation of Abbi. I cry every time I watch the video and it has touched friends and family immensely who have seen it as well. You did an incredible job and it means the world to me that you "get it" and her. :)
BIG BIG HUGS!

That is an incredible video Christina. Great job of capturing the essence of this child, autism, and the world around us. Raising awareness is the key to understanding. Thank you again. It was beautiful and so is Abbi.

That video sooo touched my heart and could not stop crying....Thank you for preparing this video of my niece....Her determination and will to succeed is unbelievable. It's the little things in life that we take for granted when others cherish them beyond our imagination. This video not only educates me about my niece but helps me in my everyday job as a police officer. Thank you again :)
