I heard about the horrible tornadoes in the South and Midwest. I can't even imagine how scary it was for the people there. I live in earthquake country. We have spare flashlights, canned food, and water, but in a tornado all is blown away. I heard about people hiding in their bathtubs, of whole communities destroyed, and of weird stories too. I was saddened to hear that it is possible to be lifted into a tornado, so I was amazed to hear about the dog that was sucked into one and flown away. Crawling on broken legs it made it home twenty days later and is now recovering.
I guess the lesson is to not give up. My grandma went through a lot in her life. One day I'll tell her story, but she is a positive person and a fighter too. I'm inspired to fight from people like her who face intense challenges but who get going instead of quitting.
I wish the victims of the tornadoes fighting spirit. This will be a long recovery but hopefully your homes will be rebuilt and your hearts will heal.
I am an autistic guy with a message. I spent the first half of my life completely trapped in silence. The second - on becoming a free soul. I had to fight to get an education. Now I am a regular education student. I communicate by typing on an iPad or a letter board. My book, "Ido in Autismland" is now available on Amazon. It is an autism diary, telling the story of my symptoms, education, and journey into communication. I hope to help other autistic people find a way out of their silence too.
