Communication

I've realized that sometimes I have a gift regarding communications. Sometimes I have been able to communicate with people with disabilities whom many people feel they cannot communicate with. I remember when I was in a TASH session in which Sharisa Joy Koch and her father were giving a presentation. Sharisa has autism. People were asking her father questions about Sharisa and even asking him about her opinions. I raised my hand and asked, "Why don't you ask her?" After the presentation, Sharisa walked up to be and we walked around the room. I spoke a little; Sharisa didn't say anything, but I did "get" the communication.
