Personal Note
Dear Diary~ To the readers
​
I was born in 2002. When my brother was diagnosed, I was 11. As I first learned about his diagnosis, I can personally say that I was not affected in any way, I knew he had a problem but I did not see much wrong or felt sadness with his condition.
​
I was wrong.
​
As he grew older, I realised ...
​
when I look around and see my friends talking to their brothers and they are joking, and speaking with them I felt envious. I cannot do that. His most prominent disadvantage is the lack of communication, as he has difficulty to speak (generally it is referred to as ‘non-verbal”), and has other disabilities such as lack of social skills, unusual play, sleeping disorder and lack of attention. He is not the normal and average boy. While writing and researching, I actually realised how ignorant I am about Autism . ​And I should be learning more and also should be teaching you.......
