Here's a fact that none of us knew. Did you know that 1% of the world are people with autism. I have some questions to ask. The questions I provide for you are: Do you know anyone who have any signs of autism? Are you or have you been diagnosed with any sign of it? Do you think anyone with autism can be independent in the real world? If I answered any of these questions, I'll answer all of them from what I experienced in the past until present.

I know a group of friends who have different signs of autism and they can relate to what I have. They're the MAC group. MAC stands for My Autism Connection and I was a member of the group for a good year. I know a few friends from the group who have autism that are independent right now. I know some of them are driving right now while others are independent,. My next question is a problem, but it's a true fact. What's wrong with people sometimes? Does anyone care about a person who have autism anymore? The answers are sometimes they don't have a heart for those with it and probably not. Not having a heart is one thing and #2, people ignore anyone who have autism now a days. When making conversations, most of them will do one of these scenarios. People will either ignore you when making a conversation or not saying anything at all. From going through this experience, people have done these things to me too. This is what they don't understand about anybody who has autism. Autistic people sees the world in a different point of view. Most people sees an autistic person through his or her disability instead of the ability. As they say, the truth hurts and it's true. Anyone who have been diagnosed with autism is a unique individual.
