One of my favorite literary magazines is SMITH. SMITH is a home for storytelling of all forms and kinds.
“We believe everyone has a story, and everyone should have a place to tell it.”
Smith is also the home of SIX WORD MEMOIR. I thought it would be fun to have a SIX WORD MEMOIR contest with readers of 5 MINUTES FOR SPECIAL NEEDS.
Prizes:
1st place: a signed copy of my book A REGULAR GUY: GROWING UP WITH AUTISM
(three first place winners)
2nd place: a $15.00 Amazon Gift Card
(three second place winners)
Everyone else: A “Survival Tips for Regular Moms” book mark
Here are a few examples to get your juices flowing:
1) Developmentally Delayed? Can he catch up?
2) Bite marks bleeding, play date cancelled.
3) “Autistic? But he looks so normal.”
Winners will be announced next Friday!
