TRANSCRIPT
I am first and foremost a child. I have autism. I am not primarily autistic.
It does not define me as a person
It is only one aspect of my character.
I am Finnegan, a fun loving, happy
boy
I sometimes take things literally. I am a concrete
thinker
Don’t use:
Pun

I am a visual learnerDon’t tell me,
show me.
Show me
many times.
Consistent repetition makes me learn
I have a lot of energy
I am a boy!
Don’t expect me to sit still for a long time.
Provide me an outlet to get my “wiggles” out.
Please help me with social interaction
It’s not that I don’t want to play
I just don’t
know how to
join in
Don’t exclude me
Look past what you may see as limitations and see the gifts autism has given me.
Have you noticed I don’t lie, cheat, tattle or pass judgment on other people?
