In Our Own World

We autistic people live in our own world and the real world at the same time and there's no problem with that. It's the chance for every autistic human being, especially me, to escape from reality for awhile and stay there for hours and hours. No one can judge the fact that every autistic individual lives in the virtual world and the real world at the same time, even in public. As a matter fact, I, too, live in both worlds, but that's okay; we're still humans. Some people think that we're crazy or out of our minds, but we're not. We, all.of us autistics, each have dreams like everybody else. Some of us fantasize about being politicians, super models, and/or musicians, and some of us dream about being millionaires; if only that were possible. And as for me, I plan on being a famous writer, despite the fact that I have autism, mild MR, and OCD. And even if reality tries to destroy our dreams and our world at one time, we'll never stop dreaming about having careers and reality will never prevent us from achieving our goals in life. And at the end of the day, week, or month, we autistics will always live in our own world, still live in the real world at the same time, and everyone else is welcome in the world of autistic people anytime.
