Good Friends


Have you ever had a friend or wanted to make friends with a person who has autism or aspergers syndrome? I hope so. They're some of the coolest people you could ever hope to meet & your life can be so much deeper for having truly known someone with such a different take on things... HERE are some helpful hints for navigating such a relationship. And here's to good friends!

"Here's to the kids who are different,

The kids who don't always get A's,

The kids who have ears
twice the size of their peers,

And noses that go on for days...


Here's to the kids who are different,

The kids they call crazy or dumb,

The kids who don't fit,
with the guts and the grit,

Who dance to a different drum...


Here's to the kids who are different,

The kids with the mischievous streak,

For when they have grown,
as history's shown,

It's their difference
that makes them unique."
