How I would help

If I could change anything about the world…

I would help kids.

Not just in any “normal” way.

I would help kids with autism.

I remember when the numbers were 1 in 150

I was 11

The numbers are now 1 in 50

That’s two percent

I am now 17

People say it’s just a difference

Or a gift

Completely ignoring the fact that

It’s not just “one kind” of autism

They are not all gifted

Autistic kids go missing

They have meltdowns

Some can’t live on their own

I should know

My sister is autistic

I am not an extremist

I just want to help people

Function in normal society

America needs to wake up

And do something about this.
