How to be Invisible
From the time I was born, I was different. I was put into a world I never belonged in. My name is Luna, and not only do I have Asperger’s Syndrome, but I am an empath. As a child, I faced so many obstacles and the first was not being able to speak correctly. For the first ten years of my life, I was put through speech therapy and special education classes. It was the late 70’s and early to mid-80’s and Asperger’s did not even have a name yet. I was always was the outsider looking in where no one understood me and the one and only friend I ever had was Meredith. I met her when I was 6 years old in kindergarten. The only one in my life who not only accepted my weirdness but embraced it. I never had to pretend to be someone I was not and even when I had my random acts of waving at strangers like a crazy person or hopping around a grocery store yelling “BUNNY, BUNNY!! HOP, HOP, HOP!” Which I may say embarrassed my little sister the most, Meredith always seemed to be in her mode of “alright here she goes again but it will pass.”
