Through The Autism Lens

By TJB

On Yer Bike!

This is me on my Bike. I am 6yr old and have a disability called ASD which is short for Autistic Spectrum Disorder. I can do quite a lot of things, but I also struggle with a lot of things too. Balancing is one of them. I have to have Stabilizers on my Bike because if I don't I fall off it. Not because I can't ride it, but because I can't balance myself on it.

I like my Stabilizers because they keep me safe whilst riding my Bike which I love to do. Our house is huge and I am allowed to ride it in the house because it won't ride on the grass in the garden and our rooms are big enough for me to ride around in without banging into anything.

Every now and then, I like to try new things on my bike and today I learnt a new trick. I stood on my Stabilizers and let go and Mom counted and said I'd balanced for 36 seconds. This made me very happy :D
