Yesterday I was talking to a reporter I was working with on Sunday on our break after doing an assignment, we sat down talked about things, then we got on to the topic of myself and autism, she was very impressed with my attitude towards autism, how I deal with it, how I am postive about my "condition" how it may have singled me out when I was at school till i eventually left, but i never stopped, never let people get me down i broke barriers, done things creatively (paintings, poetry) etc, just all kinds of what i said.
Well today, she sat me down and meantioned about our talk and said the newspaper I work for would like to have an article on about me and everything i said and how i always saw the positive side of autism, how even though i was bullied at school before i left i continued on and always faced forward.
They have interviewed me, my mum and my dad today, so I'll wait to see if it gets published.
So lets see.. lol
I have had a small portrait picture of a lawyer taken by me put in on my first day, then later on in the week seven pictures over a 2 page spread, then front cover pictures, and now an article about me in the newspaper!
I never stop lol
