Please take a minute to understand what an AUTISTIC Child wants
to tell you;
- First and foremost “I am a CHILD” and Autism is just one aspect of me.
- All those things that are ORDINARY to you (like light, sound, touch etc) can be PAINFUL to me. Click here to experience how I feel
- Change is the only constant to you but I love to be in “MY ROUTINES”. I get disturbed when there is a change in it.
- Don’t compare me with other Children, not even with other Autistic Kids. I am special in my own way.
- Not every Autistic Child should or can have special or hidden TALENTS. Do not search for the “Rain Man” in me. Please focus and build on what I can do instead of what I can’t.
- You may think I don’t do what you expect me to do because I don’t listen to you….I am sorry I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND what you say. Sometimes even small instructions are extremely difficult for me to understand.
- It is very tough for me to tell you what I need. I do not know the WORDS to talk to you…not even my pains….
- Most of you do not want to be with me but I want to BE WITH YOU. Only thing is I do not know how.
- Learning is tough for me. But if you can tell, show and do things along with me “I TOO WILL LEARN”.
- Please love me without any expectations. I sometimes may not be able to “RECIPROCATE” the way you want me to. After all.... you all know that “Love is unconditional” and so I DESERVE IT.
