Gabe is my four year old autistic brother.
I've recently given in to his fascination with my camera, and let him rum around with my canon elph. It was hard at first... I don't know how many times I've said "Don't touch the lens!", but it was worth it to see his face light up when you praised his efforts. The little guy doesn't speak, but his enjoyment of the process speaks louder than words could.
The results have been rather mind blowing, I'll tell you! After the first couple of blurs, I showed him how to focus, and the pictures he took, once he understood the camera, were beautiful! I was so impressed, I made and am main
