"Autism"

Hi, my name is ***** what do you think when you hear the word Autism? I think about Jovi my super poodle and, my best friend. As an Autistic parent or child, you can't believe everything Google says. like I googled Autism and this is the definition

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviours, speech and nonverbal communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an estimated 1 in 59 children in the United States today.

so I found out I am a 1 in 59 people with Autism. really I know a lot of people with Autism this must be outdated. Ok, I  am sure you get it. ya, can't believe EVERYTHING you hear. Especially about Autism. If you look something up about autism get ready to be hurt. Ok, next thing. I highlighted the words Disease because is it REALLY a disease? I like to think of Autism as a... Gift.
