I
Wish People Knew
.
I have an Autistic sister. Luckily, she's only mildly Autistic. She means the world
to me. I spend most of my time with her, because she's the funniest person I've
ever known. Sure, she's 3 years younger than me, but I love her so much. I live
my life praying and praying that each day we're getting closer to a cure, and that
more people understand. When my sister has an anxiety attack in public, people ask
me, "What's her problem?" or, "How spoiled is that kid?"...even worse, sometimes,
people give my family dirty looks. It's not like my sister can control her anxiety. She
didn't just choose to be Autistic..she wasn't really born that way either. She gets made
fun of, because she might lose control of her mind, or because of her weird interests.
The worst is when I see her gets shoved around by other kids, and I can't get to help
her in time. People think of me as the girl who always gets what she wants, the spoiled
b*tch. But the thing I want the most, more than anything, is for people to understand
my sister's Autism, as well as every other person who is diagnosed with it. I also want
a cure. I love my sister and she means the world to me.                                         ♥


-not the prettiest quote, but it means a lot to me. I suggest you read it.

i think its really great that you posted this quote. My neighbor who has two special need kids including an autistic has agreed with you. She feels hurt when people stare and shun her son's unintentional behaivor. but with people like you, trying to make things better many more people will be educated about autism and learn to appreciate the special kids. thanks again.

I wish i could say I know how you feel, ut autisim is a SPECTRUM disorder for a reason. I have a twin brother with moderate to severe autisim, he goes through phases but I always protect him from those mean guys that laugh when he's walkin down the hallway screaming while we're in class

my 7 year old brother is autistic, sometimes he is so annoying. But he is my brother and i love him to death. We once lost him. He hoppped the fence and i got so scareed that id never be able to se him again, but luckly we found him. My other brother has a friend and he said something about my brother and i casually said it to my guy friends, jst to vent. turns out at recess my guy friends went to confront the kid. and i was so thankful i have friends like that. i love my brother and i dont want anything to ever happent to him. i know how you feel. trust me.
