Life Through The Eyes Of An Autistic Child

Can you make it to the end? That is the common question asked when people click on this video.

This video puts into perspective what a boy with Autism experiences while doing something as simple as walking through the mall with his mother. Sometimes all it takes is to put ourselves in the eyes of another to see and feel what they do each and every day. In a world filled with ignorance, it takes videos like this to change the attitudes of many amongst us, especially those who have never taken into consideration the trials and tribulations others face.

“I’m not naughty, I’m autistic”. A boy with a disability, he has no control over how to prove himself to others.Why? Why is it that someone who views the world differently than others is pressured to prove their own abilities against individuals of a higher intellectual capacity? We, as humans are ignorant, selfish and blind.

In a short video that displays the world through the eyes of an autistic child, we are shown what this child experiences while walking through the mall. Most children with Autism do not acknowledge the fact that they have a disorder. In other cases, children with Autism know they are different and they let the mouths of society engrave their cruel remarks and exertions into their souls. Despite the common culture of children with Autism, the boy in this video, proves to the world, that he deserves to be loved.

“I am not naughty, I am autistic, and I am given too much information”. Picture this. Colors flashing directly in your faces, red, blue and yellow. Now, the flashes of a camera inside the photo booth continuously replaying, even when you’re long past it’s location.Squeaking shoes, that distract you enough to the point where you can’t continue walking through the mall. People stare. A woman comes up to you and asks you to quiet down. Everything that you have encountered in the mall overcomes your mind. People begin looking at you as if you don’t belong. As if you can’t be loved.

This is how the boy in the video, and other Autistic children feel constantly. Unwanted, unloved, and alone. This innocent boy went against other’s opinions and stood up for himself. When society was demanding him to give in to their gruesome peer pressure, he picked himself off the ground and told the world he was important and that he may be different , but he is by no means less.

When that boy brushed himself off and had the power to stand up for himself, in that moment it is clear how arrogant humans are. The boy in the video, overturned the conventional path of society, proving that love can help all individuals, cruel or kind alike, find a way to overcome the boundaries of conformity. The brave young boy validates that love is the powerful source that drives individuals to overcome the submission of society toxicating the airs around them. Love conquers all.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
