Silas, the Stone Warrior
In a far-off land, there was a man made of stone. He was a mighty warrior who had been turned to stone by an evil sorcerer. His name was Silas, and he had stood guard in the same place for centuries, never moving, never speaking. He watched as the world around him changed, as kingdoms rose and fell, as wars were fought and peace was made. But he could do nothing, for he was made of stone.

She's Autistic...
"She's autistic...she has adhd too." They whisper behind her back as if she isn't standing but a foot away and as if autism somehow makes her deaf as well. She takes a deep breath and keeps walking. It would do no good to confront them. Their small ignorant minds couldn't handle the truth anyway. But still...she carries their words with her. Like a backpack that has too much weight to bear it's just one more thing she adds to her pack of things that float around in her head and that's just the tip of the iceburg. Most people don't know she has these what they call learning disabilities because she doesn't want people to know. Her mother made a large enough deal out of it by taking her to all those doctors. She knows that her mother just wanted to find out why she couldn't understand her studies the way she did when she was young. Why she was so stupid? Oh she'd never say that out loud...her mother didn't have to. That much was implied. Smart people didn't make C's, D's and F's like she did. On top of that she saw the way people looked at her since the diagnoses. These pills didn't help either. And that doctor literally told her mother that he could tell she had asperger's because she wouldn't make eye contact with him. After that, she was sure to look at him directly in his eye the duration of the visit. Idiot...as if just by not looking at a person you can identify what "disabilities" one may or may not have. "What's wrong with you?" That was a good one too. She'd heard that one on more than one occasion. "I'm not sure. What is wrong with me?" She'd think. "Is my brain broken and unfixable?" So she took to hiding it. She wouldn't tell a soul about her dual diagnoses unless she was forced to. That way she would appear "normal". She could blend in and at least out in a public of her peers be seen as just one of them. That was what she hoped for at least but she was different...in several ways. She did show signs of social awkwardness just because the "normal" ways of doing things in this world of social hierarchy made no sense at all to her. Humans are fascinating creatures but they were viewed as more of a science experiment to her rather than something to truly want to fit in with...of course she wanted friends and had a sense of not wanting to be alone but the general way people carried out life was baffling to her. It made no sense. So therefore she stood out. She had certain sensitivities that others did not. And the anxiety and depression was a real beast. She also as previously mentioned did not learn the way others did. Her brain was most certainly unique in many ways but unfortunately she saw it as a curse. Eventually, a nice young man taught her that her mind was stronger than she knew and that she could overcome her own faults and not need her medication and so she stopped. Throwing that medication down the drain was so very satisfying. For the first time she was doing something on her own and taking control and no one was any wiser. Things were hard though, harder still...her brain was a relentless bucking bull that she had to learn how to tame. The verbal assaults from everyone around her minus a scarce few were not easy to take either. Words were constantly thrown about like stones as if they didn't matter. Once she was told, "Do you think since you took all that medication as a kid that that could be what's wrong with you?" "No, no, I don't think that has anything to do with it at all." was all she managed to say after incredulously staring at this man she thought loved her for a full minute before responding. Now, I'm proudly proclaiming to have Asperger's and ADHD and am a stronger person because of it. Today, however, I was told my beautiful, perfect baby girl needs to be tested for a possible learning disability and my heart sank. I'm not going to lie...I cried. I worry for her, no mother wants their child to go through what they did and I like many of us have went through Hell. However, she is not me and she will be taught to be loud and proud of who she is no matter the outcome. Children and life can be harsh but she will and we will outshine them all!!!
