Autism.
Why can't your kid talk?
Why do you not teach him to behave?
Your kid is so annoying.
Your kid never stops flapping his arms.
They're terrible parents.
they can't even look after one kid.
...
Although I look normal, I have an illness, a mental illness.
You may not understand, but you don't have the right to judge me that quickly.
Don't blame my parents, they're trying their hardest to give me everything to help me.
You don't need to yell at me if I don't behave like the other kids.
I just don't understand simple instructions.
I can hear you, but can't function it very well.
Please don't judge me and my family when we're in public.
Just know that they are trying their hardest to look after me.
When I got diagnosed it brought a lot more hassle for them.
They didn't have to read a book, they learned from me.
All I want you to know, before judging me, think about what could be going on inside my brain.
I am an autistic kid.
And I am proud to say it out loud.
