Hi, My name is Ryan.  I'm 9 years old and I have autism. That means some things are harder for me, like new situations, sudden changes, and when my feelings get really big and I don't know how to explain them. But I also have things I really love that make me happy.

I like playing Minecraft, reading about sinkholes, and learning all about the Titanic. I think ships and trains are awesome, and I know lots of cool facts about them! Sometimes I could talk about them all day.

This year I'm doing the Autism Walk with my family. I want people to know that kids with autism are amazing and have special things they love too. When you donate, you're helping kids like me get support, and it makes me feel proud to have people cheering me on.

Thank you for helping me!

Love,

Ryan
