As some of you know Shane and I have been truly blessed with 2 wonderful little boys that are Autistic. So Autism is very near and dear to our hearts.
I contacted Lou (DCBluesman) a few weeks ago about getting a puzzle kit with the Autism colors, with one black piece to represent the missing piece of the puzzle. Lou contacted me last week and told me that the kits would be ready this week, so I anxiously a waited the news that I could order one. Then I found out that Lou was going to send me a kit, and donate part of the proceeds of his sales to an Autism Charity!
We owe a huge thank you to Lou!!!
From the ASA website:
The Autism Awareness Ribbon - The puzzle pattern reflects the mystery and complexity of the autism spectrum. The different colors and shapes represent the diversity of the people and families living with the condition. The brightness of the ribbon signals hope—hope that through increased awareness of autism, and through early intervention and appropriate treatments, people with autism will lead fuller, more complete lives.
This kit was so much fun to build. It came with very good instructions, but I found it easier to "build" the puzzle piece by piece on the tube. I was going to use my 80 grit gouge, but that was slow so I did use my skew. If I had been able too I would have chewed off all my fingernails while turning, I now have a new understanding of "Sharp tools & light touch". I am very happy with how it turned out.
