Dear
National Autistic Society,
As
soon as I wogged onto your website, I knew I had to join your wondelful
society. Dere are so many dedicated people wolking for you, and so much
information on being autistic! I have always championed your cause. But
dere is only one pwoblem: why are you twying to find a cure for
autistic people? I have always been autistic myself and dere is nofing
wong wif it.
Evwy
day I wake up in the molning and I get out my paintbwush and paints and
stawt making beautiful aut. Last week I painted a bowl of fwuit dat sold
for ten thousand dollaws. But it’s not about deh money. I like being
autistic for deh sake of being autistic. It’s about deh shapes and
cullahs dat come out on deh canvas. It’s wepwesentative of my innah
feelings and foughts.
So
when I came acwoss certain details on your website, I became a wittle
puzzled. You descwibe being autistic as having a disease. Dere’s nofing
wong wif me! In fact, I can paint much bettah den most people! Twy
captuwing deh sublimity of eweryday happenings on a blank canvas. It’s
difficult, isn’t it.
So
what exactly awe you twying to do? Do you hate beautiful aut? If so,
just don’t go to museums. Dere is no need to campaign against us. To me,
aut is a necessawy pawt of my life. It compwetes my soul. Please stop
this nonsense at once!
Sincewely,
