I am odd, I am new
I wonder if you are too
I hear voices in the air
I see you don’t, and that’s not fair
I want to not feel blue
I am odd, I am new
I pretend that you are too
I feel like a boy in outer space
I touch the stars and feel out of place
I worry what others might think
I cry when people laugh, it makes me shrink
I am odd, I am new
I understand now that so are you
I say I “feel like a castaway”
I dream of a day that that’s okay
I try to fit in
I hope that someday I do
I am odd, I am new.]]> 2016-09-06 13:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ajc1015_2/9b4i8jnkl8oj/wish/121787034 ajc1015_2 https://padlet.com/ajc1015_2/9b4i8jnkl8oj/wish/121793070 "Once you met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism"]]> 2016-09-06 14:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ajc1015_2/9b4i8jnkl8oj/wish/121793070 ajc1015_2 https://padlet.com/ajc1015_2/9b4i8jnkl8oj/wish/121795378 Catherine, a sister to a boy with Autism, her and her family's life revolve around him and his needs. In the back of a sketchbook that she carries around are rules for David, he brother, to follow. Although some might seem as simple as "flush the toilet" there are also rules that are much more complex, such as " Yell on the playground, but don't yell at dinner." She has made these rules to try and stop his embarrassing behavior. ]]> 2016-09-06 14:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ajc1015_2/9b4i8jnkl8oj/wish/121795378 ajc1015_2 https://padlet.com/ajc1015_2/9b4i8jnkl8oj/wish/122426664 - Some autistic kids are learners
