Young Atticus has Haiti on his mind

Atticus is a 6 year old  Winnipeg boy with  Asperger Syndrome (a part of the Autism Spectrum Disorder) who has an overwhelming need to help the people of Haiti. He pestered his parents until they helped him with his plan to do something concrete. He got himself a website to ask for your help.  Atticus and his mom, Sharon,  were in CBC on Saturday Weekend Show and I listened in awe and was impressed by the intelligent way he spoke.  He sounded seriously concern.  He is trying to raise $100.00 to be used for pipes.
His mom said that as part of the syndrome he has a zest for knowledge and speaks like a little prof . She said he has an incredible sense of justice and right and wrong.  In his world it is wrong what is happening to Haiti.. He would wake up his parents at 3 and 4 oçlock in the morning to share his concerns about the people of  What a special child.  Children will lead in the new millennium.
