Brynjar Karl

Autism Light #412 is Brynjar Karl. 

Brynjar Karl is an 11 year old who has autism and lives in Rejkjavik, the capital city in the country of Iceland. Brynjar Karl is an Autism Light for the awareness he has brought to autism through carrying through with his 11 month project to build a 6,33 meter replica of the Titanic out of 56,000 LEGO bricks. Brynjar Karl will also hold the distinction of representing the first Autism Light who comes from Iceland, making it our 26th country to be featured.

The following is a video that Brynjar created along with his mother.

Public Speaker: Brynjar Karl is giving public talks on autism in Icelandic and English.

Brynjar has a three fold message for other kids about fulfilling their dreams and making them a reality.

1. You have to believe - I really believed that I could build the Titanic.
2. You need the right team around to help you get there - I chose my family. 
3. Never, never, never give up, because there will be obstacles but you will overcome them, with the help of your team and your believe.
