After reading this work, I can see what this autistic student is struggling iwth. I agree because now I realize taht i am one of the kids that have treated those with learning disabilities differently than normal. I would be the kid who would "let you play" and "go easy on you" if you had a learning disability. My eyes have been opened to the mistakes that I have been making. 

This happens in my own school, and I am a reason for this problem. However unintetntional it was, I still have unconcisouly hurt fellow classmates with learning disabilites. This issue doesn't apply to just autism, but it applies to every other thing in that spectrum. I must try to get rid of my "deceptive smiles" towards these kids. They are human too and are the same as everyone else. To anyone with learning disabilites I have hurt, I sincerely apologize. I swear to do better.
