Understanding Autism

Really where fear gets you misled is in being so easily distracted by the outward manifestations of autism. Inside we are unique individuals who have our own sense of reality. Our reality is one of swirling eye popping chaos. Outside. Inside it is less terrifying but it still takes getting used to.

What people don't understand is everyone finds their own way of existing in the world. For some of us that existence is made more difficult by preconceptions that are false.

For a long time too many of us were unable to refute these beliefs but now I can communicate by typing. And yes, it's really me typing. I learned to type independently at the lurie center. Open your eyes to the amazing possibilities out there if we all really try to help each other.
