Linus27 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 [quote name='Duarte' post='814523' date='Apr 22 2010, 12:50 AM']if you were to put him into a category I suppose he would be 'Classic Autism' - but when I started working with him about a year ago I was told he had "Severe autism, learning disabilities and other challenging behaviours". He can't speak, but can understand what is being said to him to an extent, whether he chooses to acknowledge what you say is another story! I firmly believe that he is a genius in his own right. He uses his little book (which is there in the picture) to point at a picture of something that he wants (usually a jigsaw puzzle, pancakes or 'the shop') and we can communicate by using hand gestures such as high fives or waving. I gave him my first ever bass, an encore P bass, and he loves it! ...however he just puts it in his mouth...we'll get there though![/quote] I really admire people like you who do this sort of work helping others who really can't support themselves. I think it takes a very special person to do what you do. Keep up the good work fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Vader Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Okay, not sure if I've posted in here yet, so here's a couple of shots from Saturday night, playing with the Spaced Invaders (80s electro/new romantic tribute band, hence the shades, hoping not to be recognised) and for those of you who will undoubtedly say, what's that bass? Can I see it closer, I say yes, but you'll have to look around the guitar player, who is rather bright... and if you wanted to check if I was married, or where i rest my thumb sometimes, here's this one, my favourite pic of me this week.
