hi my name is seth and i am sixteen years old i am non verbal and i have autism
everyone in a family
you try to breach the silence barrier
to let people get to know you but its awful hard to
act sedate when you panic inside
i mostly want to tell people that we are apparently healthy
but maybe we are really sick and desperate for someone
to decipher all our symptoms and give us a treatment
that will ascertain our recovery and give us a chance to
bolt away from autism and be who we were born to be
we are autistic and sad to say real behaviorally challenged
we are normal in our minds and we are dominated by autism
we totally understand all that is said
highly autistic is actually not lost in autism
though autistic people seem lost
they are just trapped
like fog in the morning
it is trapped between places
mist and water
autism is like that
trapped between what we are and
what we are supposed to be
hard to look typical when we give bad impressions to others
we try peoples patience but we dont mean to
families just hope that others wont notice
but they do
desperate to say help and afraid at the same time
the second you get comfortable autism stares you in the face
and saw that you were somewhat typical then
slams you back into reality
totally happy to say that i do talk in my mind and one
day it will just leak out of my mouth and all will be amazed
glory to god
i will sing his praises loudly with my voice
i welcome any thoughts or questions
seth
god loving friend with autism

pitying the disabled
lots of people are berating of less than
perfect individuals
but less is more in some cases
in looking for perfection you overlook the
limited greatness of those yearning for
perfection
greatness comes in unexpected places but open your mind and be mightily surprised
dont waste the lives of greatness because you are prejudiced of the differently gifted
this is what i want to tell arrogant people who have met me and stare like they are better than me

God Bless You Seth! You say what many of us think daily but don't have the mind to say it. I have often thought of making a shirt for me and Garrett when we go out that says something to that sort but never have done it! Should I?
