I have a disability. It's called autism or Asperger Syndrome. You can't see it. It's something I'm born with that I can't help. It means that I find it difficult to understand other people, because they do not think like I do.

I would like to help other people. Sometimes I need help myself.  I want other people to understand my life, so that they can understand me.

 

I prefer things to be the same every day. Every morning, I follow my checklist on the fridge. Then I know what to do. I get easily confused, if I don't know what I'm going to do. Or if I'm going to do things I haven't done before. I need things to be explained to me in advance.
