THE FACE OF AUTISM
BY ALEX ZIPSE
No body understands them; why they are the way they are. Due to that fact, many
people make fun of them because they lack the compatibility of other people, but as many people do not know, many of them have knowledge so fascinating, they are smarter than we could ever imagine.
As the old saying states, its not what’s on the inside that really affects them. You couldn’t believe how many people make fun of the way they are or seem, that’s just wrong because it’s not their fault they were created the way they were. The thing people don’t realize is that their brains are so unbelievably amazing that they are practically Geniuses.
How would I know this? Meet my Uncle Thomas. He may seem young for an uncle
of my age, the fact that he’s twenty- four. He’s tall, skinny, and above all amazingly
smart. Though he has some flaws such as overeating, (which makes himself sick), slamming doors in the kitchen (which breaks the dishes inside), and other things.
Throughout his childhood, he took special classes in school and would see his doctor every now and again. Once, in elementary school, a girl who was in his class jumped on his back and started screaming. It horrified him, and to this day, he doesn’t want to be around little kids. He also doesn’t like to hear trains because he had to go and get shots, which he hates. Every time he went to get needles injected in his shin, he heard the whistle of that train. When he hears one today, he thinks he’s going back to that dreadful place. Besides all of that, he likes to swim with me, play video games with me, and start a conversation with me. He’s a great uncle, I could never ask for a better one.
Do you know what I’m talking about? What disability of an average human? I’m
talking about Autistic people , the ones who are unlike many of us. So what, they may look, talk, seem, or sound weird, but they are a few of those people who are amazing and intelligent. They are very special.
