What it's really like to have autism | Ethan Lisi?

It’s like having a special kind of superpower that helps you see and feel things in a different way.

Imagine you're playing with building blocks, but instead of just stacking them up, you can feel how they fit together inside your head. That's what it's like to have autism sometimes: you might notice patterns or sounds others don’t, or need more time to process everything around you.

Sometimes, the world feels like a big, busy puzzle, and everyone is moving pieces fast. But if you have autism, it might feel like the pieces are all jumbled up, and that’s okay! You can take your time to find where each piece fits best.

Some people with autism love routines, like knowing exactly what happens next when they wake up or go to school. It's like having a map in your head, helping you feel safe and ready for the day.

You might not always notice it, but having autism can be like wearing a special kind of glasses, one that lets you see the world in a way that’s uniquely you.
