Aaawh I love one of my many cousins

Ill call him R in this.

R has autism, he had it since he was born. And he's been a real fighter. Even in the darkest times he still smiles.

He's doing a whoooooole lot better! He couldn't talk when he was younger and he's 15 now, talking and doing sign language! I was the one who first showed him youtube during his physical treatment. R was picked on alot as a little kid, since he couldn't talk and did very little sign language. I protected him and when he went into middle school he became more defensive. I remember he had a special class and I would bring him his lunch and hang out with the other kids (they're all super sweet ♥).

He now has a girlfriend, who has ADHD. But she is so pretty and wonderful c:. When im not around, she helps him get through tough times. SHOUTOUT 4 U GUUUURL

During his treatment, I opened him up to youtube. I showed him some of my favs, Game Grumps, Dan and Phil, even some animators! He was fascinated and I loved it when he laughed. R was never a huge blabber, when someone told him to stop talking, he would. When he did something wrong, he would ask "please teach me how to not make a mistake again" in sign language. I taught him how to read and write, while the teachers at school helped him through academic stuff.

Hes doing amazing so far. He can speak, but he does have to stop because he has bad anxiety. He gets nervous cause he thnks people would be mean to him again. Aaawh ;-;. He does have a voice crack, thats why he avoids talking loudly. It makes his throat hurt (lol same I can scream for 2 minutes and I would have a sore throat).

He loves to chat to me about Skydoesminecraft and Jinbop, who helped him smile whenever he was sad. I do understand sign language and when he's out of breath he does that instead. He does it slowly though cause he cant process as fast as I can do.

He's literally an inspiration to me. He keeps fighting and fighing till he has won. And he has.

Shout out to one of my amazing Cousins c:

I need to show him Wattpad, he loves to read XD

He also wanted to share this with my followers. He said if your ever feeling bad and tired, think of a ladybug. Its spots resemble to see closely at your mistakes, the red reminds you your a real person, and the black resembles you are you.

Love and hope- from both me and R
