My Story
The first time I met Michaelson, he bolted into a closet. Michaelson was 10 and, as a person with autism, scared of strangers. I was 18 at the time, and had no experiences/understanding with people on the spectrum. Very slowly, Michaelson became more comfortable talking with me, and one day when I asked him his favorite food, he delightfully announced, “cake.” This, I knew, was my way in with Michaelson, so everytime I got time, I brought him a slice of chocolate cake with rounded cream cheese vanilla frosting on top (at his request). In this way, I successfully used our common pleasure to build a stronger connection.
