10 Truths from Someone on the Spectrum

2. Who I am is good. As long as I continue to become more of who God created me to be, I should not try to change who I am. 3. Autism is not a bad thing in and of itself. 4. God created me to be beautiful. I am beautiful, regardless of what the world might say. 5. My value is not in how un-awkward I can be, what I look like, or what I wear. Those things do not make me more valuable. 6. God wants the best for me. He blesses me daily. Hourly. By the minute. 7. I know that there are people who love me despite my autism. I also want them to love me because of it. 8. Sometimes I need help. I need more help than the average person to get through the day. That's okay. 9. Whether or not I am working, I am making a difference in this world, and that's what matters. 10. I am capable. I will work again, I will live on my own, and I will even have a cat. With support, I will reach my goals.
