This is my blog all dedicated to my amazing nephew Braxton. Braxton has Autism. I want to speak out for Braxton and prove that although he may not have much of a voice, he has plenty of things to say.

Famous People in the Autism Spectrum
I was surprised to find out that Albert Einstein, the "smartest guy to ever live," had autism. It makes sense to me considering that people with autism seem to have a different mindset and a different way of thinking. I also found out that many other famous people in history may have also been included in the autism spectrum:
Bill Gates, Mark Twain, Emily Dickinson, Beethoven, Van Gogh, Mozart, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Edison. It's crazy to me to think that I didn't know this before. It just proves that autism shouldn't have to hold anyone back, that they can still be anything they want to be; a poet, an author, a famous composer or artist, or even the smartest person to ever live.
