She Has Autism, What’s Your Problem?
People often look at me weird or have their eyebrows raised whenever I attend events and I bring my daughter with me. If I can read their mind I believe this is what’s in their heads “Why does she bring her daughter to events, isn’t she ashamed of her?” “Isn’t she afraid that the child might misbehave or do something weird that will disrupt and event, how dare she?”
Honestly, sometimes I hate when they stare at my child, I would love to stick a fork in their eyes so they will know that staring is rude. Sometimes I want to talk to those people people staring and say “She has autism, what’s your problem?”
They look as if she is bothering them, they look as if she has something infectious, they look as if they want to know what’s up with my daughter. I am super tempted to buy me and my daughter a shirt that have this insignia.
“I have Autism, What’s Your Problem?” for my shirt. “It’s called Autism, Look It Up!”
I bring my kid to places I can bring her as much as possible because I want to expose her to the world around her rather than keep her at home and contained to the activities she is involved with like her school and therapy.
I bring my kid away from her comfort zone so she will now how to behave properly when in public places and places where there are more ordinary people than special people like her.
I bring my kid with me to events I go to so people will be educated about autism and not be afraid of her likes because if you don’t do them harm they don’t harm you back. They are after all people like you but they are special and you are not.
