Funny Guy

stylized photo of Mikey with funny nose and glasses, silly face emoji, the word SILLY in red with an arrow pointing towards Mikey.

One of the beautiful things about a daily journal for kids on the spectrum is the fact that it helps solidify a positive self-image. Mikey IS a funny guy! He loves to be silly and laughs easily and often.

journal entry, "I'm such a funny guy!" photo of Mikey with his silly glasses and nose with mustache.

Mikey learned from the best! This silly guy is the most amazing typical older brother a kiddo with autism could ask for.

Shout out to all the typical siblings who support, love, share and model. I see you!
