Eytan Nisinzweig and his mother SusanToday we honor Eytan Nisinzweig and his mother Susan. The Nisinzweig family is from Riverside, Connecticut. Eytan has autism and is gifted in art and music. Seeing this artistic talent Eytan’s mother Susan created the business known as EytanArt.

Eytan Nisinzweig is an autism light because of the ways in which he is using his art and music as inspiration to make a difference in the world as he lives with autism.
Susan Nisinzweig is an autism light for finding a creative way as a parent to take the necessary steps required to help her son with autism build a business that will increase his independence as well as change the world with positive messages.

EytanArt: EytanArt features some of Eytan’s orginal artistic designs. Susan Nisinzweig writes this about the origin of EytanArt.
About a year ago, I decided it was time to start sharingEytan’s delightful artwork with others. An inspiration led me to pair his designs with messages about respectingdifferences, discovering similarities and about making a difference in theworld. I created a website and started abusiness called EytanArt™whose “tag line” is Designs About Difference. The 5 designs and messagesthat are currently on the site have been a big hit and there will be more tocome. The exciting thing is that thesedesigns and messages are shifting attitudes around the country and around theglobe each time someone wears an EytanArt t-shirt, hangs a poster in theirclassroom or office, mails a note card to someone they care about, etc.

Eytan: Eytan will be 26 on November 1, 2011 and he is very involved in his community. Susan Nisinzweig again writes this about her son:

In addition to Eytan’s artwork, he also contributes to ourcommunity each week through his musical talent. He volunteers at a nursing home weekly where he plays songs from the 30’s through the 70’s, as well as show tunes and some classical music. He is hired by our school district to doweekly sing-along sessions with the preschool classes and he also hired monthlyto do the same at a local church pre-school. Because of this, Eytan is well known, appreciated and loved throughoutour town. Although Eytan doesn’t fullyunderstand the impact he is having on so many people, he is happy, he does what he loves to do, andhis life has real meaning and purpose.
