Published Work! – How do I celebrate?
-
Today the Regional CCS Disability Action Magazine came. Its a regional News-magazine that one of the organizations that supports me publishes.
A few months ago they invited me to contribute to the magazine on the theme of Celebration. I decided that I would draw and write something for them that would be short but personal, you see… I never use to think I celebrated but have recently realized that I do. They loved my contribution so much that they chose it to close out their entire year… and put it on the last page. The organizations last words for 2013.
I hope that you all enjoy it. (Click to make it easier to read)

This is great Matty! You should feel so proud!! 😀 You did a great job!
I’m the same way, when I celebrate it’s usually not done with a group of people unless it’s a share event we’re celebrating e.g. getting done with a difficult exam.
So proud of you! *hugs* :3
I’m proud of you Matty 🙂 I usually celebrate by myself and with my animals also 🙂 I am glad the magazine published your article about how you celebrate!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Matty 🙂
Martha and all my animals 🙂
Congratulations Matty, this is wonderful news 🙂
Have you shown them your “Austism and Me” series? I think that series is so educational for those of us who do not have Austism and it should be published somewhere 🙂
Hugs Vanessa
Congratulations, how wonderful that you were chosen. We all have are own little ways to celebrate, ours is also quiet. As for your picture, that could be my dog ~ he is OBSESSED with balls. We think he is OCD! 🙂
Have a happy time. xx
