A child with special needs bring a whole new life to those who they are around. They light up our world when we are around them and do not see when there is trouble with different issues.

Oh I could help her get the stuff for her dress! I’m Gus Gus and this is my version of the story. It took a lot of hard thinking. Then what no that sounds stupid.
