My job

I never thought I would ever find something that I love quite as much as my line of work.

I was working at Walmart. Produce section. I cannot accurately describe how dull and monotonous that job was. When a friend of mine pulled me out from the powers that be at Walmart and introduced me to what gets me out of bed each morning.

The world of Autism and other developmental disorders.

This population of people is so remarkable. I have learned more from my existence in this world than I have ever before. I have worked with kids as little as 5 years old; all the way to adults that are 40--each person had taught me how to love and appreciate all that I have around me.

I love going to my job and watching the progression of awareness and skill set develop. Witnessing a non preferred behavior being replaced with a more appropriate response. Even when I'm not responsible for this progress its awesome to see a child look someone in the eye and just say hi. How the word, hi, and eye contact though simple and second nature to some are a milestone in this line of work. Nothing makes you appreciate the little things more than that.
