Welcome to Gaia! ::

My 8th grade math teacher's son has autism. He is so funny, we let my math teacher bring him over so he can ride our horses. I'm not sure how it works, but it calms them down. One thing about kids with the disability is when their brains get into one thing, such as math because I know that it is easier to describe, they just can do it quickly. They can be extremely smart o.o Like he might have learn let's say the quadratic formula like once and you could show him a problem and he would be able to get the answer very quickly. He wouldn't understand it, just know the answer. Somehow their brains work that way O.o I think it is kinda of neat.

My grandmother has alzheimer's and I feel extremely sad. I just wish I knew what she was thinking. Sadly she is on the last bit of life. I never really knew her much though.

Also thought I had dyslexia at one point, but I was wrong XD I had just read the letters backwards while taking the eye exam.

Im not mental or disabled, but i have add and i hate it when people say having ADD means your retarded and it dosnt it simply means we cant focus as well as normal people can... And i know a genius who is 8 years old and has adhd and when a couple of kids found out they made fun of him and called him a retard and such... sad

Hey, guys ^^
I know what its like to question those sort of things. Believe me, I have a brother that's disabled. Funny part was, he wasn't born disabled. My parents tell me he might have gotten it from a shot that gave him a reaction to his brain. I think the shot is called "mercury", or something like that.
So, for 14 years, I've delt with the kid, and believe me, he's one of the lucky disabled kids. I say he's lucky, because he's one of the disabled kids thats becoming less and less helpless everyday. In fact, today, out of the blue, he was writing in SPANISH. O_O;;; I think its because he hangs with some disabled kids that SPEAK spanish, and he tries to spell the understand them.

Yes, THEY CAN understand you. They all may not understand you, but don't you dare tell me that they don't have any feelings. How do you know that after you're laughing at them, they don't end up crying, and no one can understand why? They understand what agitation, sadness, and especially happiness is. So why not give them equal treatment of kindness as you would wish others to treat you?

Aspergers? When I was told I had that, I thought I was the only one in the world that did. I was afraid to admit it. I thought something was wrong with me. I thought people would laugh at me and call me retarded. Now, I meet more and more people who have it every day. Turns out it's not as rare as I thought.
