AUTISM

By: Isabella Lehr

I dedicate this to my little brother, Trenton, because he has had to learn and control the Autism in him and feel badly about himself if he did something by accident, people not knowing why, or what he has, and what it is and he cant exactly say why he did it.

Even with Autism i'll love him always
