Autismawarenessmonth Stories

Do you know what the word autism means? Autism is a neurological disorder. It is not contagious. It affects different people in different ways. Some children lose their language skills. Some lose motor skills. It is so strange that no one knows much about it. No one knows the cause, and no one knows the cure. My little brother was diagnosed with autism at age 2. The Doctors put a label on him. "Autistic." That word does not define my brother. He is smart, adorable, funny, curious, and so much more. This book is about what autism means to me.

It was my first day in kindergarden, I was very shy back then. I saw new people who were taller than me. They looked nice, but one... I thought everything was going to be fine.
