Life now is pretty perfect. Love my loving family. The best thing about my life now is the ability to tell my parents things about me that they didn't know. For example, they picked out a Lab puppy for my birthday because I told them I really wanted one. Love having Scout as part of our family. She offers so much unconditional love.
Like all people to perceive me as just like them inside. I'm perceived sometimes as weird or likely to create a scene. My true self is loving, empathetic and helpful. My autistic traits sometimes makes people not see the real me. Love that Dad and Mom have always loved me unconditionally.
Love my sisters. Lately my loving Emma likes to get to treat me like another one of her friends. She has been working on my homework with me and makes me feel really at ease. Mom and Dad want her to make progress communicating with me in case an awful tragedy caused their deaths. Getting a lot better typing with Emma.
Wearing nice clothes makes me feel confident. Now that I can communicate I can tell my Mom and Dad what loved outfit I want to wear. I'm pleased most of the time now, but sometimes life can sort of still be hard. People don't always understand how hard autism can make days. My parents try really hard to make me content. Have a feeling life is going positive direction.
