Does It Speak To You? « Stand Tall Through Everything

{April 3, 2007} Does It Speak To You?

This month is autism awareness month.
So, I have a question for you…….
Do you know someone with autism?
Because of the life God gave me I have the opportunity of encountering someone with Autism at least once a week.
Do you know someone who knows someone who has Autism?
Maybe you do & you just don’t know it.
It’s estimated that 1 out of 166 children will be diagnosed with Autism.
Another estimation is that 1 out of 150 people have a form of Autism.
Chances are that you do know someone with Autism.
If you don’t, you will.
I know people feel bad for “people like that.”
I can’t wait for you to meet “a person like that.”
It will change you forever.
Having Autism is not a curse.
It’s a blessing.
The curse for “people like this” comes from “other people.”
“Other people” always look down on “the people like that.”
“Other people” always feel bad.
Please don’t be one of the “Other people.”
Educate yourself on “people like that.”
Take the chance to get to know “a person like that.”
I promise you that you won’t regret it.
You’ll learn from it.
What you’ll learn the most about is what kind of person you truly are.
You’ll change.
You’ll become one of “Those people.”
“Those people” change the “Other people”
“Those people” change the world.
