The Spongebob Square Pant: A Short Story

518 Words3 Pages

Imagine a world where there is no evil. Imagine a world where everyone you see, speak to, and listen to is your friend. Imagine a world where a touch of a hand glorifies your day. An autistic world seems so beautiful. That is the world Chase lives in. Chase was my childhood neighbor, he moved in a few years after my family did. He came from an abrupt household with no father figure. With all he did not possess in his home life, he possessed emotionally and within his welcoming heart. That is what built our friendship. Maybe it was playing freeze tag with only the two of us or maybe it was the Spongebob Square Pants obsession we both shared. Either way Chase changed my ways of life. He would ask me questions he already knew the answer to just …show more content…

I never saw weakness, I never saw hurt. He was the happiest person I ever met. He taught me things about myself I would have never known. He brought out my compassionate side, my nurturing side. He has taught me that I want to be a pediatric nurse. Because of Chase I will be attending the college of dreams in hopes of getting into the nursing program so I can help children the way he has helped me when I was younger. When Chase, brother, and mother moved, it was unexpected. That was their life always on the move never in the same place for too long. Instead of feeling disconnected and upset when I saw my friend drive off with their bags, I felt blessed. I was able to have my life changed in a matter of a year. I was open to new ideas. I am now able to view every up and down in life as a positive thing. Through heartache, pain, and loss I have remained impacted. I have not spoken to Chase since the day he left. This is not sad. Chase has a beautiful soul. I can only imagine the lives he’s attaching on. Lives he’s changing with his purity and delight. It is impressive and uplifting. Chase has forever changed me and years later is still forming me into the person I want to become. An autistic world seems so

He has showed me that even though things are challenging and very tough, you have to persevere because there is always something better down the road.

    These are just two of the words that we use to describe autistic kids in this day and age. Humans and Animals. None of the two are the same, so why do we have the need to take away the basic human rights, to which we all deserve, and treat children unfairly by constantly watching, observing and experimenting with their lives. In society, the only A+ kids want to give are the ones on their report card…but in the book A Cage of Butterflies, the only A+ they are capable of giving, is the kind that runs through their veins. The Kids from 'The tank', consider themselves to be just like animals, living on 'The Farm', constantly being restricted to the same four walls of the institution to which they have been confined in for the majority of their lives.

    Many people with autism ought to validate themselves with regard to their capabilities with an aim to improve their esteem. However, I think that the novel portrays a misunderstanding on the patterns of reason on autism patients. For example, Huddon says, “ So I carried on walking. And I could feel the feeling like a balloon inside my chest, and it hurt, and I covered my ears with my hands, and I went and stood against the wall of a little shop which said:" (Haddon pg 208). This quote carries along with it much confusion and the character as drawn is that of a confused

    Human beings with autism have said that the world, to them, appears to be a mass of events, people and places which they contend to make sense of, and which can cause them considerable anxiety. To be specific relating and understanding to other people, and taking part in everyday social life and family may be a bit challenging for them. Other people appear to know, intuitively, how to communicate and interact with each other, and some people with autism may wonder why they are different. People with autism have challenges with both non-verbal and verbal language. Many of them have a literal understanding of language, and think people always mean exactly what they say.

    Personal attitudes towards people with a disability would have strongly influenced the town of Endora’s behaviour to Arnie. Music played in the film was soft and may have been used to make the audience feel sympathy towards Arnie because he has a disability. However, Hallstrom’s analysis of people with autism cannot be completely accurate as in the film it never recognises that people with autism are highly intelligent in the creative field. Recent studies are shown that the way people perceive creativity and people with autism should be reconsidered. The research article concludes that the authors found that “Autistic people tend to be superior to non-autistic people in many tasks that require processing large amounts of information, picking out details of objects or scenes, or detecting changes in the environment.”
