This  is  my  awesome  dude,  Ma]hew.    Ma]hew  was  diagnosed  with  Severe  Au$sm  and  Global  Developmental  Delay  when  he  was  22  months  old.  He  will  be  15  next  month.  Ma]  is  non-­‐verbal  and  has  challenging  behaviour.  He  is  the  light  of  my  life  and  I  absolutely  adore  his  view  of  the  world….  He  loves  the  simple  things  we  all  take  for  granted,  like  watching  leaves  blowing  in  the  wind…  He  loves  watching  traffic,  his  favourite  food  is  McDonalds,  he  loves  his  sister  and  brother,  and  his  favourite  possession  is  his  weighted  therapy  blanket  in  this  postcard…  It’s  all  the  more  special  as  it  was  a  gib  from  one  of,  if  not  THE  nicest  people  we’ve  never  met….    This  is  our  tribute  to  LB.    Linda  Johnson
