⁂PART TWO⁂ Hi again, so I've been doing all the research I can without letting my parents know, which is tricky as the computer is in the lounge and my Mum and Dad go in there a lot. I hate lying to them, but I must know. So some of the things I have learned are that Autism is a spectrum, and not everyone who is Autistic is the same. Life has been tricky since parent's evening Mum and Dad keep having little private chats and giving me odd looks. I wish they would go back to how they were, I wish my life would be normal again! Ok so today was awful I had something that is apparently called a meltdown. I was sitting in my room reading when my Mum called up asking me to come down because she had something to tell me. I ran downstairs crashing into the lounge, my parents looked calm but also worried. They asked me to sit down, and I did. This is what happened. "So baby we want to tell you something," my mum, says she's not looking at me "You're possibly Autistic." "This doesn't mean we don't love you." my dad adds "Good," I say matter of factly "You're not surprised?" Mum asks "No" I start to cry "I heard Miss Reed" "Oh gosh" mum mutters Dad walks over and tries to hug me but I push him away, the next few minutes are filled with me screaming and crying uncontrollably. Once I am calm Mum asks if I'm cross about probably being autistic, I tell her I'm not, it's the truth I'm not cross about it confused maybe not cross.
