Undercover Minority

It's amazing how far being cute will get you.

Often when I mention EJ's autism to someone, I get a response like, "Oh! I couldn't tell..." (in addition to all the "so sorry's" and the scrunched pity-brows). I usually put on a smile, while silent E says, "Tell me, what is an autistic kid supposed to look like?"

There is no such thing as better. Just different.
