They're not autistic. Kids with autism usually flap their hands as a stim, usually for a visual stimulation caused by the movement of their hands, not in reaction to anything. Hand flapping during excitement/anger is usually excess energy looking for a way out. A form of expression. Many 3 yr olds don't play cooperatively with others at school.
That year one of the most influential rappers to ever hold a microphone released his breakout album. In January 1993, Tupac Shakur was 21 years old. He was about to drop his second album, and the first feature film he starred in had been a success. He was on the cusp of superstardom. Kevin Powell, a young journalist at Vibe magazine, was trying to talk his editors into taking a story.
JhenÃ© Aiko was only an 8-year-old, when Tupac died on Sept. 13, 1996, but after she saw the 2003 documentary Tupac: Resurrection she was affected forever. Aiko often acknowledges 'Pac on his birthday, but this year she decided to share her gifts with the world, exclusively through MTV News. To celebrate Shakur, JhenÃ© recreated three classic Tupac photos with photographer Danny Williams.
