Special Needs Challange

The curious incident of the dog in the night time is my favorite book. It is in the point of view of an autistic kid. Write a first person narrative in the point of view of a child or adult with special needs. The most common are autism and the autistic spectrum, down syndrome, and mental retardation, but there are quite a few.

Rules:
I'm under 18...that means no erotica.
I'm not a psychologist--in your notes please mention what the "special need" is.
no StIcKy CaPs please!
Please no stories over 1000 words...I have a short attention span.
Have fun! This is could be fun and involves a lot of empathy!
