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

The picture is always bigger than it seems
By Seth McKinley
i dont like people limiting the abilities of the gifted differently
the handicapped belong to society just like people who are poor or foster a different language of communication
we take less for granted than those whose lives are privileged
we are slighted by the school system because we seem unintelligent but they either dont know how to teach us or they cant see the big picture of their
responsibility to ascertain the abilities that we have
totally listless days pale in comparison to days in typical schools
teaching lost kids history or science could replace numbers and colors
hopelessness abounds when we are not challenged
the big picture is also lost in our medical community
doctors want to treat our symptoms without getting to the root of the problem
we hold on to the prayer that a moment of normalcy will last indefinitely
god is our mentor
he is the only one who listens to our prayers
the one that sees the big picture of the gifted differently
limits plummet in the eyes of our god who accepts us unconditionally

Seth, The more I read your words, the more I realize you are going to do big things! You have the gift of letting others know what your life is like and how we can help our kids. You can tell people the things we can't. Seth, you are going to be heard and you are a hero!
