Autism
Autism is Awesome
What is Autism
Autism is not a disease Autism is something a child is born with. Children can work very hard to make it go away because it can its not like AD/HD where it can never go away. Having a Autistic brother I know how hard it is to comunicate with them and I know how hard it is to learn. You should always respect kids with a disability.
How Autism Effects Kids/ People
Autism is wonderful but the effects are hard to get by. Some people with autism can have a hard time talking, functioning, and other things. But there are some kids that there Autism is not that bad. They just have a hard time with little stuff (like my brother). So if you have an autistic sibling that doesn't have that there autism isn't that bad you should thank god that his or her autism isn't that bad.
The R Word
What is The R Word?
The R word is retarded. This girl in my school she protested against the word retarded. She was in the News Paper with her sister with down syndrome. She told every class in my school why not to say the R word. She said that she heard people say to kids with a disability "You are so retarded" . She wanted to make a difference. She put signs with her friends that read "END THE 'R' WORD!" I was proud that someone stepped up to the plate and took a stand.
One More Thing
The next time you see an autistic kid you should think about what your going to say twice. Also remember these rules:
- Treat people the way you want to be treated
- Think before you speak
- If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all
