The ABC's of Autism

 I posted this on my Nuzcom.com blog and I thought I'd share it here:

A is for all things unique.

B is for finding beauty in the ugly.

C is for caring for all others the most.

D is for doing the best.

E is for everything's a challenge - don't give up.

F is for facing a funny fear, like the sound of a telephone.

G is for going the distance - you know you can.

H is for hope.

I is for the intensity of all things in life.

J is for the jokes that might not be understood.

K is for keeping up and trying to fit in.

L is for loving life and loving all; no matter what.

M is for the many things forgotten, can cause a meltdown.

N is for never giving up; no if's, and's, or but's.

O is for being overly sensitive and how it can be good or bad.

P is for wanting to participate in life.

Q is for the questions asked. Who am I? Who is she?

R is for remembering thing through rote.

S is for all the stuff the mind can hold.

T is for the timeless moments of make believe.

U is for the universal truths we all understand.

V is for the varying severities in the spectrum.

W is for welcoming with open arms a schedule.

X is for Xenophobia, which I don't have.

Y is for yin yang and how autism and normalcy coexist.

Z is for zero tolerance of bullying. Kindness matters.
