Re: Autism: Blessing or curse? I - November 5th 2009, 01:59 AM

My younger brother has autism along with a list of other learning disabilities as well. Sometimes I wonder where he'll get in life, if he'll be able to do it without me, and it worries me. In the end, I know I love him more than he or anyone else will know. I think its a blessing to him. Who would he be without it? He wouldn't be the person he is today, he would be a stranger to himself, and as hard as it is to fit in, I think he enjoys the challange. He won't go to college, he won't graduate the top in his class, and he won't have the highest paying job, but he'll always have the chance to succeed in what he does, enjoy doing whatever he does, even if thats working as a Wal-Mart welcomer. He might go be able to live on his own till hes 30.. but he'll get there one day with a loving family behind them. How would that be considered a curse? I don't think it could be.. definitely a blessing.
