It Was A Terrible Ending!

People, please be nice to those with autism!  Everyone was working on people’s skills in the school to really understand them!  It really was worth while.  In the end, people understood your story!  Let’s expect the best from those with autism!  That gives us wonderful lives!  Let’s make great endings please!  Let’s give everyone your respect!  Really take talking in youre trust!  Let’s really talk with respect!

It Is Nice To Tell People That I Am Upset!

I was upset today over the lack of understanding the people I was with had about my physical limitations!  It was nice to be able to communicate this to my parents!  Prior to knowing RPM they would not have known that I was unhappy!  It made me feel better to talk about it!  Other people who have autism cannot do this, that is why RPM is so important!

I Am On Water That Does Not Have Any Sea Gulls Flying Around It!

It is hard to be in a world that does not accept people that are not verbal!  I want to communicate but it is difficult when I have to use a letter board!  It takes longer for me to get my thoughts out!  I sometimes feel like I am out to sea by myself and life is going on faster than I can!  I need to have more days that I can savor!  Is today the best day of your life!

Understanding The Way We Relate

You’re the real deal!  You try to work pretty hard each day!  Everyone is interested in real relationships!  They want good friends and friends they ask to a date!  It’s hard on you when you talk with letterboards!  People want everyone to be independent!  It’s like we’re too dependent!  People ordinarily operate on their own but we need help! Just imagine if you didn’t talk or couldn’t understand others real well or read, it would be very impossible to have relationships!  You have to learn good memory skills in order to interact using  a letterboard!  You’re working on RPM to communicate!

It Is My Last Day Of School For The Year!

It was a great year!  I had a lot of fun this year!  The year went by fast!  I am going to miss my teacher.  She will be teaching the younger children next year!  I have a difficult time with change!  Yet I know change is part of life!  But I do not have to like it!  Very few people like change!  I know I will be leaving next year which will be difficult for my parents!  There will be a day when we will be all together again!

The Best Backyard BBQ Ever!

I had a great time at Giant Steps Backyard BBQ!  People were asking me a lot of questions!  They seemed really impressed each time I used the letter board!  I long for the day each classmate will be able to use a letter board!  It will be great to communicate with my friends!  They can all do it!  RPM can make it happen for them all.  They just need encouragement!  They are smart!  They can do it!  Real hard, but needs to be done!  Please help them!  I need to be able to talk to them!
