Even though I'm an honor student, sometimes I do things that I just can't help. If I'm really happy and excited, I might jump around and wave my arms. Sometimes, a person might say words or make a sound that bothers me. Most of the time, I can control myself, but once in awhile, if the stress is really great, I can't stop myself from flicking my fingers in front of my face and repeating the words or sounds that bothered me. I might even get so upset that I can't tell someone what is wrong.
Policemen are our friends.
I would like them to be able to tell when they are dealing with someone who has a disability like mine. They will recognize we aren't being bad or dangerous, just that we sometimes have trouble communicating.
