Bad day, so here ya go

Autism means...

You know your letters, but not your ABC's.

You can take apart my laptop, but you can't turn on your toy computer.

You can successfully give me the history of roller skating in the 1920's, but you can't skate.

You can spell your name, but you can't hold the pen to write it down.

You can quote whole movies, but you can't tie your shoes.

Autism means....

You don't understand the differences between emotions, but you can finally give snuggles.

You are terrified of Big Bird, but you'll put up with him to make your little brother happy.

You don't like change, but you're learning to deal with it.

Your words came later, but they mean so much more.

You don't do things the way you are expected to, but you do them anyways.

Autism means...

You are different, and different is good.

You know you are different, and you don't like it.

You don't like it, but you learn to handle it.

You learn to handle it, and you smile while you do.

You smile, and my whole world lights up.
