Well I happened to hear the news today about a disgusting thing, A woman wrote a letter to her neighbor and grandmother about thier 13 year old AUTISTIC child, saying alot of really hateful and despicable things. Calling the kid a nuisance, saying how no one would ever love or marry him, how he caused problems for her "Normal" Children. And this of course brought me back to a very painful time in my life.

I am autistic as well, though more on the other end of the spectrum.I I have Aspergers syndrome/Autism SPectrum Disorder, ADHD/ADD, ODD, Bi polar, Used to be epileptic (though got the most part havent had a seizure in years). I say things without thinking, I have little to no impulse control, focus problems and easily distracted. I think along different lines. Sometimes I say things that perhaps arent the best topic at the time (Kinda like a person who tells bathroom jokes at a dinner table). Sometimes I dont know when to shut up (I will be the first to admit)

But to read what the woman said in her letter reminded me of what life was like after I was taken out of my mother's custody. I was bounced from foster home to foster home, group homes, treatment centers and other institutes.

And the last foster home I ended up in, by that time I was a wreck. So much that The first thing I did to try and lock out the pain...was to coccoon myself in my room. To lock out the pain.

My Room was my universe..and yet at the same time, It was also my prison. I would stay in there from sun up to sun down. The only time I really left the room was for a) School B) Bathroom or C) to collect meals which I would eat in my room.

This woman says the child is a bother, but if only she could understand how it felt, to have people turn up thier noses at you and refer to you as a retard, a moron.

I live on my own now but the scars are still there, I try and improve my outlook, but at the end of the day, I come home...to my One Room Universe..

And try and forget the pain that the world enjoys inflicting on me for thinking differently than others.

And all I can say to this woman, is even though its not me, Thanks for ripping open some old scars that never really finished healing. My faith in humanity died a bit more today.

I plan to make a response youtube video, with some speedpaint and such.

It did a bit to at least distract me,,,,
