"Love this! I may just have to put this on the wall (of my actual house :) -not FB wall) for my daughter. She is 9 and screams at me that she just wants to be normal. I tell her she IS normal. She just thinks differently etc ..... Maybe this will help her. I don't know how to help her when she gets like that. Thanks!!"
