Poem Title:
Poem
It's been over a long while (since 1991 at the age of three) since I'd been diagnosed with autism. I've been an autistic human being after I turned three years old. But despite being diagnosed with autism, mild MR (mental retardation), and OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), I'm still functioning like everybody else. Everybody should know what their lives would be like if they had to raise their children who had been born or had been diagnosed with autism. It seems that people with autism are as intelligent and bright as I am, especially when it comes to mainstreaming in school and stuff. What I learned about having autism is that not only does this type of disability allow me to function with my family, autism had allowed me to get an education and make new friends, too. everybody knows that people with autism, including me, are all equal like everybody else. If these people want to tell the others that they had autism, no one should be judgmental. And for when I'm able to tell someone that I have autism, he and/or she is very open-minded and accepting. And if these people want to be open-minded and accepting, so should I. So what all of the young men and young women are autistic. Young men(including me) and young women with autism are all God's children, regardless of what some people think. And what's so great about being autistic is that we're not just finding our talents, but we're also living in our own worlds and the real world at the same time. Whether he and/or she has autism, autism spectrum, or Asperger's syndrome, which is autism's twin, they're all an equal. And come to think that I'm still accepting the fact that I have autism and I'm very proud of it. Everybody also knows that I have autism, he has autism, she has autism, and everybody from around the nation and the whole world each have autism. The reason why all of these people are accepting that the fact that we have autism is because they really care and kind and understanding, for one, and for two, that all of our family members really love us, even though we're autistic. And if all of the young men and young women can deal with being autistic and they can accept the fact that they can function in the real world like everybody else, so can I. And right now, I wish that the men and women were to know what it's like to raise children who have been born or diagnosed with autism. I'm autistic and I'm also an equal, just like everybody else.
