My autism and me.

I am just a normal girl. Except I have Aspergers syndrome but Im still normal. I got diagnosed about 2 years ago, a year after my big sister. We are to completely different people but have the same diagnosis. For my sister it was life ruining but for me it was just another day. We were all so busy, School, looking after my dad, My mums new buisness/hobby and my older sister moving here and having to live with us while she found a house. To be honest I liked the Idea of being special. It made me feel important but soon enough things took a turn for the worst. Kids in my class were getting treated differently. Now because of me but because they would act out in class so the teachers , instead of putting up a fight, they just let them do what they like.So the next year I did the same. It was easy, I did what I wanted but at the time i understood why it was hard for them to stop, because when you do it its so nice but its so hard to think of how selfish it is! I love my aspergersso much and I wouldn't beme with out it!
