Today's Daily Whale comes from @beyonddisability who lets us know the importance of being unique and different.

All too often these days, people spend their ever waking moment trying to be like someone else, trying to be something or someone they are not, because they are afraid of what the world thinks of us. But they should not be, because everyone is special in their own way, and none of are born the same.

Because of genetics, kids can be born with various conditions, some refer to them as special kids -- which they are -- because they are born different from the rest of us, which is what makes them so special. But, they are not all that different. Some people look at a child with autism, and feel sad for his parents, while others look at that same child and ask his parents, "What is his One Gift!"

For those who are not aware, although children with autism are slower in general, the excel with one very special gift. Some are math geniuses, some can play any instrument, others can draw amazing works of art with a level of patient that far exceeds what "normal" people can achieve.

Regardless of what makes them so special, remember, that they are important, and they are Beautiful inside -- at a level which we may never be able to fully understand. Today's Daily Whale shed light on them and reminds us, not to feel sorry for someone who is different, but to celebrate that which makes them so unique."
