Feeling good about ourselves and embracing the unique qualities that make us individuals is important for happiness in life. At SEEDs for Autism we understand that healthy self esteem enables us to stand up for ourselves, stretch our limits and gain the confidence to connect with others. We asked our participants to share the personal skills, talents and interests they have that make them feel special.
MICHAEL IS.
I think independence is the unique quality that makes me special. For example, I ride the Valley Metro bus without assistance, and I walk about half a mile to and from the nearest bus stop.
CONNOR
I never give up. I’m relentless.
CHRIS M.
My unique quality that’s very special to me and everyone I know would be that I have a talent for drawing and making pieces of art.
JAKE M.
My sense of humor is a unique quality that I have and it feels good when I can spread that humor to other individuals.
DANIEL CH
I’m good at singing. It makes me feel special.
ANTHONY
I feel like I’m good at cleaning things, organizing and mopping. And I like to help show my family the healthy things they should eat.
RYAN D.
I have good skills of drawing, acting, singing, and dancing.
JESSE
I have a really wild imagination when it comes to writing stories.
