Autism and Quirky Birds

The universe has a sense of humor and sends us reminders in some odd ways. This morning I came across some baby macaw parrots in my travels. The babies are about the strangest looking birds I’ve ever seen. They were gawky and falling all over themselves, a bit pitiful, actually. I had no idea what they were at first glance, I actually thought they were turkeys.
It occurred to me that some people may look at Gus that way: odd.
As I watched the little 3-week-old creatures, they grew on me. They were actually cute and even just in the short time I was watching them, they had distinct personalities. One was pretty smart and kept out of the way of the other two who seemed to be wrestling. It was fascinating. And the best part - this is what they become:

If the macaw parrot can transform into such a beautiful and graceful creature, I have no need to worry about Gus. He’s already beautiful and he’ll grow into himself eventually. He’s already starting at an advantage - he’s way cuter than those little guys were!
Can you explain the advantages of SocialSpark.
Thanks
