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.
