I Think I'm Like Nephi...

Henry Harker - Age 10

“My favorite primary song is "Nephi’s Courage". Nephi is my favorite prophet because I know the stories about him and the difficulties he had to go through. Not just with himself but with others - like, the people around him.”

“Having a brother with autism can be very difficult. It’s difficult because sometimes I can’t find anything that he likes to do together and when something is supposed to be fun, he sometimes starts screaming. Like, I try to get him to do something, but the second I mention it, he starts running away.”

“The good thing about Clyde having autism is that he doesn’t get very embarrassed. That can be a down fall too. He could go out in the rain and strip naked and he wouldn’t care. Even if it was public. He wouldn’t care what other people thought of him. That would be kind-of fun. Doing what you wanted without worrying what other people thought. I don't think I'll try it though.”

"I think I'm like Nephi because he had some brothers that did stuff he didn't like, but he loved them anyway and tried to help them understand what was going on. Even if they didn't want to listen."
