Who am I?

​

I’ve been autistic my whole life. I know I am different and don’t fit in this overwhelming world; too bright, too loud, and too confusing – with social cues and expectations that just don’t make sense. I was bullied and excluded from most people. It was like everyone existed on the other side of a glass wall. I could see them, but I couldn't fully understand the life they experienced on their side of the wall.

 

But I know I am not alone, I always have Mama, Papa and Korkor beside me.

 

Autism isn’t a bad thing: it’s a beautiful thing. I am just different, and that isn’t a bad thing.I don’t and can’t talk but I communicate my basic needs thru hand and facial gestures. I connect with people who care and help me. I am absolutely & wonderfully loved by Mama, Papa and Korkor, and even more loved by Jesus. If I could speak, I would tell Mama and Papa that I love them very, very much. I was at my happiest time swimming in my own pool, eating my favourite food, painting, going to church, nature park walking with Papa & Korkor and enjoying many, many wonderful holidays with Mama, Papa and Korkor.

 

I have lived a full life without regret leaving a legacy of touching many lives with pure, innocent and unconditional love.
