You might look at me and say, “He’s a regular guy,” but I’m not. Because my very own brother, Matthew, is autistic.
Now, if you don’t know anything about autism, then you might think that my brother is a weird guy. Well, he’s not because Einstein was also autistic, and he won a Nobel prize.
Autism is a sad “disease” which never really goes away. I don’t know why my brother is autistic, he just is.
This means he can’t understand a lot of things. He has a tough time understanding us. We have a tough time understanding him. He also gets very worried, and can get really stressed out if things don’t go exactly the way he expects.
