I have 6 kids.
3 have autism.
3 are “the normals.”

One bangs his hand on the table at mealtime
And he screams
SCREAMS!
He runs around at bedtime
Knocking his head to the wall
Laughing his butt off.
He flaps his hands like he will fly off
Anytime he is excited.

He is a “normal”

Another bites when her toys are taken.
She kicks.
She kicks hard
Anyone who comes near her foot.
Then she laughs
Just as hard.

She is a “normal”

One of them is a cuddle bug.
Cuddling every chance he gets.
Loves being read to.
Loves playing with other kids.
Great student
Popular kid.
He has autism.

He is an “abnormal”

We are all abnormally, normally.
