A few days later, Taylor brought the trains and train tracks she made to her parents. The reaction she got was different than she expected.

Taylor: “Mom, Dad look what I made for Bryant!”

Taylor’s mom: “That’s amazing but report cards came in and they’re not very good. You need to work on your grades and not make dumb things like that!”

Taylor: “The things I make are not dumb. I’m going to my room. Goodbye!”

Taylor’s mom: “Taylor come back!”

The next couple days Taylor did not visit Bryant or build anything. Then one day Mrs. Cole asked Taylor, “Why don’t you visit Bryant anymore Taylor?” 

“Well my parents say; I need to study more. So they don’t want me to visit Bryant or build anything.” Taylor was looking frustrated.

Mrs. Cole: “Well that doesn’t seem fair does it? Taylor follow me!”

Taylor: “OK but where are we going?”

Mrs. Cole: “Somewhere.” 

Mrs. Cole took Taylor’s hand and strutted down the hallway.

 “Ughh! I just can’t figure out what to paint. These trains and train tracks won’t paint themselves!”

Taylor had a bunch of paint next to her and couldn’t figure out what to paint on the trains and train tracks until Bryant picked up a paintbrush dipped on some paint and started painting the train tracks.

“No you CAN’T do that Bryant! Stop!” Bryant looked up at Taylor and went back to painting. Taylor didn’t say a word.

Fifteen minutes later, Bryant stepped away from his creation.

“It’s beautiful Bryant! How did you do it?” Taylor was amazed by Bryant’s artwork.

Taylor joined in painting with Bryant and together they made the most beautiful trains and train tracks ever.

Mrs. Cole walked in and her Jaw dropped.

A couple days later after Taylor finished the books, she learned more about A.S. and a little more about how Bryant communicates.

Taylor: “Hey Mrs. Cole, I was wondering if you have any experience building models?”

Mrs. Cole: “Well Taylor, I do you like to build small things, yes.”

Taylor: “Do you think that I could build a mini toy for Bryant.”

Mrs. Cole: “Of course you can!”

Taylor: “Okay, thank you Mrs. Cole see you later!”

Mrs. Cole: “By Taylor!”

The next day, Taylor started making some trains and tracks while Bryant watched her work on it.

“Try stacking these blocks Bryant!”, exclaimed Taylor.

Bryant took the blocks and stacked them up exactly like Taylor.

“Nice job Bryant you did amazing!”

Taylor kept on teaching Bryant new things every day until one day…
