It is important to learn about autism so you can understand it and help people with autism feel comfortable. I am autistic, so I wanted to help. Everyone should feel comfortable and feel special. I sometimes feel nervous or completely different from others because I'm autistic. For example, all of my senses are very heightened and things can feel intense, which can be hard, but it can also be helpful and useful. It helps to see things in a way that other people can't, hear sounds that others don't, smell smells that others won't, feel things in a way that others can't and taste things that others cannot. I say my senses have a special BOOST! But it would be helpful for people to understand.
Being different is what makes you, you!
Thank you for supporting the Triangle Run/Walk for Autism.
