Hello! My name is Coralie. I'm 8 years old. I have big ears, freckles, and curly hair.
I have a little brother, Léo. We look a lot alike. At the same time, he's very different from me because he's autistic. Do you know what autism is?
Autism is a condition that affects the ability to communicate and connect with others, as well as restricting a person's interests. This is due to the different brain functions of autistic people.
When my parents told me my little brother was autistic, I asked them if he would ever stop being autistic. My parents told me no. It's not an illness, so it can't be cured.
It took me a while to understand how my little brother feels and how he perceives the world around him. When friends come over, they find my brother different. And I tell them how lucky I am to have Leo as a little brother: he is unique!
