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.

Make a difference

Image
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!!

Year end reflection

Image
I was in a public school in the special needs room where they taught me baby stuff. I am now at OMS, a private inclusion school where I learn grade level curriculum.  It has been a transitional year for me.  I am reborn. I am so proud of myself. I am here with a voice. I am smart. I am teachable. I am a genius. It is the public schools that failed me. I especially want to say to the people  who didn’t believe in me:  You are wrong. You destroyed me. You made me feel like killing myself. But I am strong. I am going to live a meaningful life. I am going to help others who cannot talk. It is important to me that I want to tell my stories  so that more people understand people like me. I want to be heard. I have a voice.
