Since I was a
young child, I have always seen the beauty in things that “normal” society
would not see. Society is always seeking new landscapes, finding the grass to
be greener on the “normal” side of the fence, but true understanding comes
with, not seeking these new landscapes, but seeing with new eyes. This blog
exemplifies my understanding of the world that children with Autism live in. I
strive to raise Autism Awareness in my community and beyond through speeches, writing,
and social media.
Society
believes that those who hear the music, while they do not, have a disability
with something wrong or missing. With Autism it is about what is abundant,
rather than what is missing, an abundance of creativity, intelligence, and
wonder. These children are so much more than a diagnosis, but until you chose
to hear the music with them, you will be left out while some of us are dancing
joyously with them.
My dad just got remarried and now I have two step siblings and a stepmother. I have known these people for a little over a year and I really love them. I was happy to see that this blog would spread Autism Awareness, because my stepsister has Autism. I am sad to say that I do not really know a lot about it; it will be nice to learn more. I do know that Sabrina, my stepsister, is one of the sweetest girls that I know. She cares so much about everyone and she seems to try to take care of everyone. I remember one of the first times that I met her I mentioned to my dad that I was cold and as I was getting up to get a sweater out of my room she jumped up and handed me a blanket off of the back of the chair. I just can’t understand how such a sweet little girl can get picked on so much at school; her speech is not the best and she tends to get bullied a lot because of it. They do not seem to see the sweet little girl that I do. I am very excited to read more of your blog posts, so that I can learn more about Autism and in turn Sabrina!
