Between Spectrums

The Light You See In Them

Hey Readers

Sorry that it took so long I was working and was getting ready to go back to St. George to head back to college. This time I'll do better in writing down posts every Thursday.

Namaste (The light in me recognizes the light in you)

Through out my elementary and high school days I would go to classes that are there to help those who have a struggle to learn. Whether it be reading, writing, math, or simply memorizing for a test. And in these classes there was always a light that the teachers recognize. And that is the light of those who are autistic. Even when they have a tough time, Some autistic kids choose to be happy and enjoy their lives through their hobbies and interests. True they do get angry or depressed when someone teases them. But most often they choose to be as happy as they can be. And when one does get depressed, even though they lack empathy they can still show sympathy and listen to what the other person has to say. They may know what the person may go through as they listen what the other person says. They are also always ready to help. Whether it be putting boxes away, pulling out weeds, or organizing rooms, they do their tasks because they want to be helpful.

There is a light in all of us. We may not recognize it at first, especially since as humans we tend to judge quickly but appearance and stereotypes without knowing or getting to know the person. People with autism have a light that shines brightly and we don't need to shield our eyes with contempt but see with clarity. We can learn a lot from them, it's our chose to allow ourselves to learn. So I encourage you to not push out the light that's being shown but let it in and see what you can learn.

Thank you for your time
