my daughters smile
by Erin Cross

my girl is 7 and is rapidly showing us signs of high functioning aspergers,as is her Dad.The last few weeks she has been flipping her hair a certain way and then giving this unusual look on her face. So lovingly I asked her at bedtime what the look means. She said" mom, thats my new smile! I only have a couple to choose from so I made a new one" I was so delighted with her unique creativity!!
