When a young girl is diagnosed with autism, she realizes that she's different. Her family accepts her, but making friends, completing school work, and controlling anxiety slowly become an everyday problem.
Autism. A word most people avoid. All those negative connotations. Stupid. Weird. Retarded. Helpless. But that's not the whole story. Not two different sides of the same coin but more sides beyond. Each one is a little different. And this one is mine. Living with Asperger's Syndrome is both wonderful and confusing. Colorful and chaotic. I'm not just Autistic. I'm an individual. This is the secret I know and that others will learn: I am different but not less.
