Autism and me.

Life with autism.

Autism has made me. It powers me up, yet destroys me. It hugs me, yet tosses me about. It makes me happy, yet oh so sad. It drives me, yet overwhelms me. It's my disability, yet my only real ability.
People think that this is a burden. They are so terribly wrong. I am made with this thing you call 'autism'. To destroy it would destroy me. It isn't fun, thats for sure. But its not an evil disease that is an epidemic plaguing our children. It's a gift. It's a hardship. It's my life, and I never want to let it go.
