Misunderstood

ELA homework:

Write about a time you were misunderstood. How did you feel? How did you handle it? 


I was called retarded when I was six years old. He was an old man at the farmers market. I was making noises behind him. I was so furious! It's very rude of him. I didn't say anything. I couldn't talk. But I have a voice now. They are stupid and rude. I could care less about them!

Today I went to see Lenae. I was very excited. I was nervous. I worried that she might be disappointed. I didn’t know if I had made enough progress. I was really worried that she could be disappointed about my progress. I was so relieved at the end that I was able to show her what I could do. I am so happy. I was able to spell on the iPad. I was able to type and speak. I was able to write and speak. I was able to hold the letterboard and spell. I am so proud of myself.  I love you mom. I am grateful for having you there to always push me and believe in me. I really appreciate it. I am so ecstatic.

Back to school

I am so so happy today because it is the first time the students got to know me a little bit. It is so incredible to see that many kids actually care about me. They were very nice and they actually took the effort to include my feelings into their ideas. I was so touched and was speechless. It makes me feel like I finally belong.  I love you mom for all the hard work. I am feeling beautiful and powerful and it is fantastic to be alive. I will be ok from now on.

Make a difference

I was really really upset when grandma said that I could talk, I just didn’t want to. I was so mad. I want to scream!  I would trade anything to be able to talk. It is my biggest desire. I really want to talk. I want to cry. I want to play a visit to grandma. I want to show her that I have made so much progress.  I want the whole world to know that I am smart. I want to show them what I am capable of. I especially what to show people in public school that I am smart.  I am so mad that people still don’t believe in me. They are either stupid or very evil. I really want to scream at them. I am so mad. I want to change the world. I want a world where everyone is treated with respect, including people with autism.  I really want to make a difference. I know I can.  I know I will.  I know I am capable. I know I am strong. I want to go to college and get a degree. I want to make a difference in the world. I will!!
