Autism as seen by my autistic daughter (2014)
My sweet girl's contribution for a community flash blog (that wasn't part of it because Mommy didn't submit it on time to be included, oops). SO I'm sharing it here. She typed this out unprompted and unassisted. :)
This is autizum
Autizum is something BIG and good.
It is fun to type about autizum!
I am 5 years old.
Sometimes my favorite color is orange.
My real favorite colors are purple and pink!
My b-day is sept 7.
I am 1 person.
It is okay to have a disapillity.
