As I sit here and stare at her she looks up at me and smiles, like I was a special person to her. I smile back and she reaches out for me and walks toward me. But as she speak her words, she’s not speaking clearly but I can understand what she is saying. she grabs my hand and show me how to say her name in sign language. As I smile at her she seems happy to have made a friend.

My cousin was born with this disorder because she is special in her on way I wouldn’t take back having her as a cousin because I would rather have a cousin with a disorder she is a great girl and is unique in her on way. She is an amazing child and has grown up to be a wonderful and smart girl, everyone looks at her likes she is different and she’s not she is a kid and a great kid at that.

She turns out to be a good person and she has plenty of friends she didn’t really have friends because when everyone found out what was going on with her no one even wanted to be around her but then I started to be around her all the time and I use to take her out and we would go to the movies and go to birthday party like normal teenage kids. Soon after that she began teaching me sign language so I could talk to her. After everyone started to want to be around her she started telling me that she didn’t want to be bothered with anyone else so I had to tell them to back off.

But now she is a smart, intelligent person everyone adores her and figure that maybe she ids a cool person to be around. She soon started school not a normal school but a deaf school she has fun up there she has made a lot of friends, after doing well in school she soon got a cell phone. She was so happy that she was being treated like a normal kid from then on she text me nonstop and we talked my cousin is now be4ing treated like a normal person and I adore her and her family.
