The Me You Don't See

by Sam Matthews

Some people say I am oppositional.

Some people say I am disrespectful.

Some people say I am uncooperative.

That's the me you see. What you don't see is WHY I act the way I do.

Have you ever wondered what it's like being Autistic?

Have you ever wondered what Autism feels like, on the inside?

This is my story.

Sam Matthews is an Autistic 10-year-old boy who wants you to understand how it feels to have Autism. This story gives an authentic insight into what feelings and emotions are felt on the inside, and that drive outward behaviours that others see. When you read Sam's story, you will completely understand why he reacts the way he does.
