“Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow”
~ Swedish Proverb

I have read often that a common symptom of autism is an emotional flatness or detachment. This is certainly not true for Andrew. He wears his heart on his sleeve.

More and more as the years progress it is seeing joy on the faces of my children that allows me to reach for the next dawn.

Hi john - I felt the basis of a good portrait was there, but it seemed a little dark - brightened, RGB level adjustment and slight crop to remove the half-hand. Hope you don't mind.
