"Where We Talk Art"

The Autistic Jedi Says....

April being The  National Autism Awareness month, we knew there was no  better way we could help do that than talk to Torrie "The Autistic Jedi" herself and her parents Chris and Melissa Mullins.
These two came up with such a wonderful idea,  enter the Star Wars Galaxy to help bring a whole new level of awareness for so many.
 That great idea?   Have their own R4-AU Droid built to do just that...
Chris mentions they thought it was just going to be something small and local for northern Alabama.
All with in a few months they found out the Star wars Galaxy is so much bigger than they could of imagined!!!!
  ​With world wide support and recognition it caught someone's attention from that Galaxy Far.. Far away..

Listen to their incredible story this week as we talk with them about their journey to help bring awareness and a lot of smiles to so many...
