This is Elijah. He is playing with his train set for the very first time.
I thought that this day would never come.
Like me, Elijah is autistic and has to learn how to play.
But the joy he had whilst playing with me and his sister Alice,
that joy came from deep down inside him.
To see him succeed at something that seemed impossible
only months ago gives us the motivation we need to carry on.
Autism isn´t our problem but the barriers that autism puts in
our way are.
