“I Showed the World Who I am….”

As most of you probably know it’s Autism awareness month and when I was about 6 years old my doctor told me I had a form of autism known as Aspergers syndrome and I thought it would be nice to share! Just because I’m a little different doesn’t mean I’m not equal I’m just the same as everyone else just in my own special way I’m very knowledgeable about what I have and I will never let Autism keep me from being me! At the same time there are a lot of kids around the world who struggle with this and just know your not alone you can do anything if you try hard enough. There were people who used to call me out, but that didnt stop me for any reason. Just look at me now I’m doing fine and I’m working at Publix still and a restaurant. Soon enough will also be on track to start back to college to start the journey to my nursing career. Just because you have Autism/ or a disability doesn’t mean your not just as powerful! I showed the world who I am and I’m Tommy Brock!  Having Autism may be a challenge for a lot of different people for different reasons but I’m not going to let it change me or my life I’m going to strive for greatness for the future and beyond and be the best I can
