The Greattastic Adventures:: Miracle Child

by John Mitchell Ulibarri

Most middle schoolers have some level of anxiety. With the raging hormones, significantly more challenging school work, and the constant fear of committing social suicide, how couldn't they? This situation is confusing enough without a surprise Autism diagnosis! When I was initially diagnosed with Autism, I had some mixed emotions. On the one hand, I felt a sense of peace because it finally explained why I was different from my peers, which boosted my confidence! On the other hand, so many questions rushed into my Autism is a learning disability, so does that mean I'm stupid? Will people continue to look down on me even though we know what's going on now? I know I have trouble fitting in but is my Autism causing other social issues and making me unaware of them? This is the story of my Autism diagnosis, and how the people in my life helped me to eventually understand and accept it!
