@danibowman1: Did you know there's a difference between a passion and an interest? Most of us on the autism spectrum have both. A passion is something that stays with you. For me, that's animation. An interest? Those can change over time. My Summer Autism Animation Camps at USF in Tampa Florida for @arts4allflorida . Remember the cupcake scene from Love on the Spectrum? When I was 16, I wanted to learn how to kiss. So, naturally, I did what I usually did at the time whenever I wanted to learn something... I went to YouTube. And yes... there was a tutorial involving a cupcake. But that's what I love about us autistic people, we dive deep into the things that fascinate us. This summer, I'm meeting with over 200 autistic students at my animation camps in Tampa, Miami, and Los Angeles to learn all about what interests them, as well as what they love about animation. Trust me... their answers are going to blow you away. Follow along as I interview them, Love on the Spectrum style, as well as show you a behind the scenes look at how we make the magic happen.
