Don't Be THAT Guy!

Don’t be “That Guy”…..

Please don’t be “That Guy”… the guy who’s uncomfortable with anything outside of what he knows, his own bubble… his comfort zone…

Don’t be “That Guy”…. The one who rolls his eyes, or makes an inappropriate joke about someone who he simply doesn’t understand just because he’s uncomfortable with someone who’s not “normal”…

YES YOU!  I’m talking to YOU!!!  Don’t be that guy… who makes fun of someone who’s socially awkward.  Don’t be someone who’s too ignorant to get to know them or understand them… JUST DON’T BE THAT GUY!

Why?  Because you’re the one who’s going to lose, the one who’s going to have a life less full and the one who’s going to act cool, but is totally uncomfortable in your own skin…

If there’s someone who comes into your life, either for a second, minute, or more who’s not “Typical or Normal”… you should STOP and think how lucky YOU are to have met them…. DON’T BE THAT GUY who makes fun of people who aren’t like you… You should be kissing their feet…. Because they are so much better then you!

They are my son, family, friends, strangers and anyone who’s living their life with Autism (ASD)… they are angels on earth sent here to show us… AKA “That Guy” what life is really about… LOVE, PASSION, UNDERSTANDING, ACCEPTANCE, GRACE and more…  My son is the one that you’re laughing at because you’re uncomfortable to go outside what you know, your bubble to understand that there’s a whole other world out there.  One that is so much better, loving, peaceful, and AMAZING!

DON’T BE THAT GUY… you’re the only one who’s losing….

I am NOT “That Guy”… I am someone who’s living with an angel, my son… he’s shown me so much more than “That Guy” ever could… he’s always happy, loving and seeing the joy in the smallest of things… he’s perfect, he’s not “That Guy”…

Autism is a social and communication disorder… NOT something to be scared of, or too cool for… It’s just not cookie cutter or the norm.… But if "That Guy" is the norm then please don't let me be him!  Live your life with love, joy and peace.  Open your eyes to a whole new world of acceptance and understanding as it will be you who will win!!

PLEASE DON’T BE THAT GUY…
