Carly’s Cafe is an attempt to help people get a sense of what it’s like to live in her shoes. Tell about someone you know that has autism. How do you know this person? What is life like for him/her? How exactly is  his/her life is different than yours? How is it the same? How do you think he/she feels? 

“Autism has locked me inside a body I cannot control.”

Describe what you think Carly meant by this. What would it be like to be you, but to have a body you “cannot control.” How do you think people would see you? How do you think you would feel?
