My Story
Over the past few years I have come to know an Autistic child by the name of Konnor Morgan Barr. This child was born on November 8th 2001. This child was diagnosed with Autism. I did not know him until the day I moved back with my father and ever since, this brilliant young man has grown upon me to the point where I can say without a doubt I LOVE A CHILD WITH AUTISM! Now you may hear many people call autistic children RETARDED but by no means is that the case. These children may have a learning curve but they are not retarded. They are very smart and many people do not realize that because they are caught up in all the propaganda surrounding these wonderful children. Just because at one time society chose to shun them I fully support them in their efforts to have an ordinary life as a human being. These kids are humans, they have feelings just like you and me and are by no means any less human then we all are. You Call them DISABLED I view them as FULLY ENABLED humans. My little brother has come very far in the last few years with the help of me and many others. If you take the time to sit down and teach them, they will be able to pick up and learn the same things that the people in schools learn. They just have to learn it at their own pace and they will learn it! Everything with autistic children takes TIME and PATIENCE. Patience was the key thing I had to learn when working with Konnor because when I would get frustrated he would be the same way because they respond to emotions just as we all do. Now this is only a part of my story. If you wish to inquire more about my story, please feel free to post in the forum and ask for more information about my story and I will be sure to get back to you with more. Also, you can post your story in the forum and if you wish it to be posted on the site I will do so, ONLY WITH YOUR CONSENT. And just remember their is no PERFECT Human. Our definition is SKEWED and INVALID because NO ONE IS PERFECT!!!!!
