#Austism makes me different in a special kind of way. I know there can be some disadvantages but autism is a gift and like all gifts, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I am who I am. And I'm happy. I don't want to be an average person, but that's just me. Everyone one with autism is special in there own unique way and most of the time it's easy for me to speak with people with autism and it feels good to know I'm not alone. 😊😎❤️✌️😉
