Go Big or Go Home!

You would think that packing to move to a new house after 13 years would be enough excitement for one family, but that’s not how we roll.  These days, we go big, and somehow, one dose of excitement doesn’t seem to be enough.  During the past seven days, Will was on call for three days straight, during which he completed ten surgeries, we hosted 25 people for Passover while packing to move for the first time since having children, moved from our old house to our new house, and while we were carrying boxes into our new house, I got a message that Benji’s long anticipated TEDx talk was ready to be viewed! So, here’s Benji, telling his story, the way only he can, with humor, honesty and a most unique perspective.

When Benji was diagnosed with autism, his parents were told he would never speak. However, he took the stage at TEDxTheBenjaminSchool Muthos and earned a standing ovation. Watch and be inspired by both Benji and his incredible mother, Debby Gans, as they recount their journey. Benji Gans is a seventh grader at Meyer Academy.
