Autistics are Smart

HELPING AUTISTICS IS SOMETHING I REALLY WANT TO DO. HAPPIEST WHEN ACKNOWLEDGING I AM APPRECIATED FOR HAVING SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SAY. HAPPY TO APPLY MY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT AUTISM INTO A NICE ROAD TO HELPING AUTISTICS BE TREATED NICE AND EDUCATED. IT IS INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING TO LIVE IN TOTAL SILENCE. HAVING NO WAY TO BE HEARD, HAVING NO WAY TO BE EDUCATED, HAVING NO WAY TO HAVE FRIENDS. I AM BEYOND RELIEVED AND HAPPY I HAVE A WAY TO TALK. HAPPY I CAN INTERESTINGLY HAVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT NOT ONLY NICE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS BUT ALSO MY OWN IDEAS. EACH DAY I LEARN BUT I ALSO TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT NICE THINGS I'M THINKING ABOUT. I ALWAYS AM THINKING ABOUT HOW I CAN HELP OTHER AUTISTICS LEARN TO TALK WITH LETTERS TOO. I BELIEVE SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT AUTISTICS HAVE SMART MINDS. I THINK THAT IT IS HARD FOR THEM TO SEE AN OUT OF CONTROL BODY AND BELIEVE MIND COULD BE SMART. I BELIEVE HAPPY ONLY LETTER TALKERS ARE GROWING IN NUMBER AND REALLY WILL BE ABLE TO SHOW HOW NOT STUPID AND LEARNING DISABLED WE ARE. GIVING US A CHANCE TO LEARN IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK. I HOPE THINGS REALLY WILL CHANGE AND A BETTER NOT QUIET LIFE CAN BE HAD BY ALL AUTISTICS. HAPPINESS IS ALSO ACKNOWLEDGING REALLY SMART MINDS CAN EXIST IN BODIES THAT LOOK DUMB.
