AM I UNIQUE?
TEXT BY EMMA ROSE JODOIN
Having autism sometimes makes me feel stupid or weird. Sometimes I get bullied. Sometimes other kids don’t even know they’re bullying me.
Because of my autism, I have a flash pass at La Ronde. When we were there, my friend told me, “I wish I was autistic.” Then she started jumping and speaking gibberish. That made ME feel stupid.
Another time, a girl told me I couldn’t be autistic because if I was, I wouldn’t have any friends. That made me wonder if my friends were real.
My mom says my autism makes me unique… Does it?
I know there are thousands of other autistics in the world. I’m happy I’m not alone.
