Hi everyone! My name is Callie.

I am 8 years old and I have autism.

Most people will say that I have a disability.

But, I think having autism is my superpower.

2

Many people think differently of me because I have autism.

It has been hard to make friends because people see my autism as a bad thing.

I am not like everyone else.

I see the world in a way people cannot.

3

I have learned that our differences are what makes us unique.

People forget that I am just like them.

I am just a kid that faces obstacles that some would not understand.

My brain works differently from my friends and that is okay.

4

Sometimes I feel like no one understands me.

Some days I feel alone.

Some days I feel invisible.
