I really need to tell someone this and get it out...
I recently went through a story on the Australian vogue forum about a boy being teased in McDonalds for being autistic and him agreeing with it all while reading this it broke my heart. that night i went to bed crying
I have a 6 year old Autistic sister. Shes like my best friend im always there for her i do everything for her and we hardly ever fight, I love knowing shes there to talk to me when im upset with my friends my parents myself or just life, she'll come up to me give me a big hug and continue to speak and not make sense but ill still know what it means. I'm way to protective of her and i hate knowing when she grows up shes gonna meet the wrong people and this will happen to her. Shes been called a retart and asked why she couldn't speak in the middle of a play ground and shes had a bunch of 10 year old boys pegging a soft ball at her saying 'she will let you do it, do it' while she was just laughing thinking it was all fun and games i felt like going up to these boys and just chucking a tennis ball at them! these where kids i don't blame them but seeing a older lady in toys r us saying to her partner 'shes a bit behind dont you think' was just immature! I don't understand why people have the need to be such rude and mean cows!
She starts a new school in a few months and im really scared for her i know shes ready, her speech has got along so well shes toilet trained finally and is independent kind of but im worried about the kids there. She has told me shes going to get a job at McDonalds and all my parents do is just laugh and say its not going to happen, well what if she does apply at a fast food place? is she going to get accepted or not what if she does get a job there are the people going to tell her to hurry up and yell at her because they wont know about her autism. She cant just grow up not knowing about money or having no social skills. Im properly over reacting since im not her mother but her big sister but i want her to grow up with a good life knowing not to let people push her around or say rude things to her because shes a bit behind, i wont be there to stick up for her.
Should i stop worrying about her and just tell myself she will be fine?
