One Tampa Bay boy us defying all odds with his incredible talent for photography.
Tyler Whittle was always an artistic child. He was diagnosed with autism when he was 2.5 years old.
At age 9, Tyler has his first solo show and continues to exhibit his creations around the Tampa Bay area.
“It’s amazing! It feels wonderful to have people recognize this gift that he has and not look at him as if he’s different or be judgemental about it,” Tyler’s mom Diana said.
Diana told News Channel 8 the most proactive thing others can do to help those with autism is just getting to know them.
“He has by far made me a more patient parent, a less judgemental person, he’s made me a better person,” Diana affirmed.
