On By dancingpalmtreesIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

My brother Stephen who is the very definition of kindness and caring. Stephen is the greatest and most Awesome Autism Guy in the world. He has helped me in many ways and does his best to reach out to others in need including the homeless. Stephen does not view his Autism as a disability but as a way to channel his generosity, kindness, caring and compassion to others in greater need. He is always there to assist his friends who live with him at his Group Home Residence and at his Training Center. Stephen is a Transformer as he transforms every life he touches. My brother Stephen is Love in Action.
