i am autism. im visible in your children. but if i can help it, i am invisible to you until its too late. i know where you live. and guess what? i live there too. i hover around all of you. i know no color barrier, no religion, no mortality, no currency. i speak your language fluently, and with every voice i take i acquire another language. i work very quickly. i work faster than pediatric aids, cancer, and diabetes combined. and if you are happily married, i will make sure that your marriage fails. your money will fall into my hands and i will bankrupt you for my own self gain. i dont sleep, so i make sure you dont either. i will make it virtually impossible for your family to attend the temple, birthday party, a public park, without struggle, without embarrassment, without pain. you have no cure for me. your scientists dont have the resources, and i relish their desperation. your neighbors like to pretend i dont exist! of course, until it's their child... i am autism. i have no interest in right or wrong. i derive great pleasure out of your loneliness. i will fight to take away your hope. i will plot to take away your children and your dreams. i will make sure that everyday you wake up you will cry, wondering, "who will take care of my child after i die?" and the truth is, i am still winning. ***and you are scared. and you should be. i am autism. you ignored me. that was a mistake.***
