    I met her when I was 10 in Puerto Rico. My mom loved her and made me go with her to a book reading. I didn’t really understand a lot of what she was talking about but my mom told me that she was legendary so i trusted her. When me and my mom talked to her for a book signing, Sonia asked what i wanted to do with my life. I was 10 i didn’t know what to say, but then she said “Don’t worry, you have time. Just make sure you do something you love”. She signed the book and while I was 10 and was super confused, now that i think about it, she was awesome!

    I love this. I almost lost my husband when his blood sugar dropped so low he was almost incoherently stumbling around outside his work outside a busy mall. Hundreds of people passed him, and though he was drunk or high or whatever. By the time I got to him and made it to a taco bell to get him food, grabbed the taco and came back to the car he had stopped responding and was just blankly staring. I called 911, the came and saved his life. Someone who 3 minutes ago was gone, was back like nothing had happened. Ut a brief nap. I'm starting to cry just remembering that day and thinking that thousands of people would have watched him die if I weren't picking him up that day. I wasnt aware of this movement, the just ask....but after that day I now ask if I see someone who looks out of place if they are allright. I have given out countless waters,milks, meals, hugs, prayers, whatever it was that someone needed at time to help them. And when I got older and got sick myself, I always make sure I inform those who will interact with me what I have and what it can cause, so that if there is ever a time when I cant speak or explain what is happening or what I need, those who love or just generally care about me can do what they can to help me. Thank you for your words and for the hard work and thoughtfulness you put into what you.

I hate being dyslexic so much, and at the time, nobody’s know to much bout this topic. I’m thankful for my philosophy professor when I was 17 who said to me that my writing was very good but different and maybe I should see a specialist because He thoughts maybe I was dyslexic. He was right, and knowledge is power, even if I can’t correct it, he help me understand that I wasn’t stupid or lazy or dumb, my brain just work a little differently than others peoples.

      :) My Brother is dyslexic too. One of the things I've read about people who have trouble processing words and spelling, etc. is the fact that Dyslexic People are often entrepreneurs. People who start their own businesses and become very successful. Why? Because they have a different way of looking at things. They have to work harder to do the "normal" things that others do so easily and I wonder if it gives them a sort of strength that other poeple do not develop.
      I couldn't be more proud of my Brother these days. He has built his own company from scratch and employs over fifteen people - and here he was, so frustrated in second grade. He felt "dumb" too and he was never dumb. He was just smart in a different way. (hug) Happy New Year. :)

      My youngest son was murdered at the age of 30. Up to the day of his death he felt less than because he had Dyslexia and ADHD. I tried everything I knew to do and volunteered in his classroom. Special Education Teacher's did little then, beyond trying to meet the IEP requirements. Giving up on himself and school took him through Juvenile Court and spiraled down to where the streets can lead you. All he had was watching me and his oldest brother endure the death of his brother next to him in age. And I had my own brushes with chronic lupus flare- ups. My oldest and I both have become strengthened by our losses, tenacity and favored memories. This interview is inspirational and covered a lot of bases.🙏🏽♥️☮️🕊️

    Brings tears to my eye and will definitely be buying this book for my kids. My oldest with a micro preemie with a lot of health problems he overcame but has Asperger's Syndrome. He is so smart and unique and literally one of the kindest individuals I have ever had in my life but is extremely socially awkward and even though he is 11 is as tall as me now he's never really had a friend outside of his family and it breaks my heart. My second child who I just thought had middle child syndrome and I was so focused on my oldest turned out to have ADHD and doesn't struggle socially but does academically. People like this writing books like this really can make a difference and children's lives and could also teach other children to understand people that are not like them.

I never told my my boss or coworkers but on my bad days(which is most), they can tell something is "off" about me, and I over here them talking about me coming up with theories, at another job people thought I was a drug addict. Idk how to interrupt their way of thinking because I focus on my job but it's hard trying to ignore but painfully stressful even thinking about having a conversation explaining who I am, and I feel like I shouldn't even have to because they never just ask!

      Thank you for sharing that. I have a brother who I believe has Asbergers but he was never diagnosed & he is in his 50's so I am able to understand your perspective. Yet, I understand the other side as well. Perhaps those people don't know how to ask; perhaps they don't want to make you uncomfortable or overstep their bounds. Perhaps they are too caught up in themselves or the problems in their own lives to reach out and see someone else. Fear is something that limits all of us in so many ways. Fear of rejection or being made fun of, yet we will never know if we don't take the step and give someone a chance. Consider this: just because someone looks "normal" does not mean they are because that doesn't exist. Every last one of us is flawed in some way. I will think of you Jonathan and hope that each day you find a strength that you can hold on to.

      Hello, fellow autie! If you're in the US, you can talk to your employer's HR department about your disabilities (assuming they're documented) to request the accommodations you're entitled to. HR would be required to keep everything confidential except for telling your supervisors what accommodations you get. (At least that's the way it's supposed to work. I know there are companies that don't follow the rules.) I hope your depression gets better, and I hope you find a work environment that's conducive to productivity for you.

      Being one with chronic depression and also having some physical difficulties but not strongly visible, I get judged by other men.
      They look at me with eyes that say, "What's wrong with this guy? Why is he USING welfare. He can work. ...." and yadda yadda. I have no choice. I hate being on disability. I have to jump through hoops (although I don't blame having to do that), and everytime I have to explain why I need assistance I feel shame, especially the looks and raised eyebrow from some of the social workers themselves.
      Then people more in my acquaintance circly wonder why I'm so withdrawn all the time. It's a stigma on a stigma.
      I do see kids today slowly moving to a less judgemental stance but there is a very long way to go.
