He wanted a way to explain to his peers about how his sister is very different from, yet exactly the same as everyone else.

Our son made this video to share with his schoolmates. He said it would be easier if people would just ask him what they want to know, instead of staring or whispering or making ignorant remarks.

These are his words. 
These are their photos. 
This is his thoughtful message.

*Over the course of a week he went from class to class to share this video with his schoolmates. He started by introducing his sister who was there with him. Then he played the video and answered questions at the end.
