“Autism is not a puzzle, nor a disease. Autism is a challange [sic], but certainly not a devistating [sic] one.
Autism is about having a pure heart and being very sensitive… It is about finding a way to survive in an overwhelming, confusing world… It is about developing differently, in a different pace and with different leaps.
Autistic beings develop and bloom if their spirits, talents and self-esteem are not destroyed by bullies, prejudice, ‘doggie-training’, and being forced to be ‘normal’.”
When it says autism is not a puzzle, I think that is referring to the autism ribbon because it has puzzle pieces on it. Also I think it means that autism isn't confusing. Also when it says it's not a disease, I think that means that it can not be cured but also it can't kill you. When it says that autism is a challenge, I think that means that it can be hard to live with autism but they put up with it anyways because that is who they are born to be. Autistic peope are very loving and sensitive and they live in a very overwheling and confusing world because they learn at different paces. Autistic people can only develop without people picking on them for who they are and not being forced to be normal.
