For my first blog post about an autistic achievement, I went to a few websites to see if I could find a recent event that occurred within the past week. After searching through several major newspaper companies, and not finding a single recent event, I resorted to Google to try to find an achievement made by someone with autism. After some searching, I stumbled upon Eric's personal website.
Eric Sissom was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome at age fourteen. He has documented a large portion of his personality, his beliefs and interests, and many of his autism symptoms. I has quite surprised when I read that milk gave him an almost nicotine type "high." Eric will soon graduate with a Master's Degree in Information Systems from Middle Tennessee State University. This is quite an accomplished young man.
There is no specific accomplishment to report here, as I had intended; just another success story that proves that those with autism can find a place within society and excel in the talents that have been given to them.
