I am the second Brundidge Baby, Brandon. I love taking trips in our RV. I love warm weather. I love my family. But I don’t always love trying new things. I have autism and sometimes new things can be scary.
“Swim with me!”
My dad is a good swimmer. He does not have autism. What if I can’t swim? What if the water is too cold? What if it goes up my nose? But then I spot a sign- “Let’s Go Brandon”.. and off I go!
“Read with me!”
My sister, Cameron, reads all the time. She has autism like me, but she does not stutter like I do sometimes. What if I stutter? What if I say the words wrong? What if people laugh at me? But then I read a sign- “Let’s Go Brandon!”
