1) I shouldn’t stick my tongue out when the wind is blowing in my face. Only dogs should do that.

2) People see me as someone who acts a different way or says different things since I do not act or say things the way everyone else does.

3) I touch everything I see because it is cool but people have told me that germs live in the things I touch, germs are bugs, I like bugs.

4) Every time I do something good, mom will give me a snack. That means l should be good all the time so I can get more snacks.

5) When someone tries talking to me, I don’t really understand what they say because I hear everything at once. It sounds like; SGDHV FNRHEY CSNSJF.

6) When I run off, mom acts differently. I think that means that I don’t get a snack that day.

7) I have friends that are just like me. We play a lot of games together.

8) Many people laugh and smile at me, it’s because I’m cute. I also get very excited at many things, especially when I see a dog trying to eat his tail. That’s really funny.

9) When someone says hi to me, I’ll look at the floor and say HIIII, HIII, HII, HI.

10) I really like snacks but when I don’t get one, I throw myself to the ground and cry. Mom doesn’t like that too much I think.

I want this to help people visualize and understand the point of view as an Autistic child. They are very unique and special and I feel as though they don't get talked about as much or even recognized.
