My Friend Sam: The Colorful World of Autism
Join Sam, a 6-year-old boy with autism, and his classmates on a field trip to a museum in Paris. Sam faces challenges and misunderstandings from his peers but eventually teaches them the importance of tolerance and acceptance.
Sam and his classmates were excited for their field trip to the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. Sam loved colors and shapes, but he felt nervous around too many people. As they arrived, Sam noticed his classmates whispering and pointing at him. He didn't understand why they were acting this way. Sam just wanted to enjoy the museum like everyone else.
Inside the museum, Sam was drawn to a bright, colorful painting. He stood there, mesmerized. His classmates, however, were more interested in running around and playing. One of them, Clara, bumped into Sam and made him drop his favorite toy. Sam felt his heart race.
- Why are you just standing there? Clara asked. - I like the colors, Sam replied softly. - You're so weird, Clara said, walking away. Sam felt sad and misunderstood. He wanted to explain but didn't know how.
Back in the classroom, the teacher asked everyone to draw their favorite part of the museum trip. Sam drew the colorful painting, but his classmates laughed at his drawing. - Why can't you draw something normal? Paul asked. Sam felt like giving up.
The teacher noticed Sam's sadness and decided to talk to the class. - Everyone, let's learn about what makes each of us unique, she said. She explained that Sam sees the world differently because of his autism. - It's like having a superpower that makes him see things in a special way, she added.
The classmates started to understand and appreciate Sam's unique view. Clara apologized to Sam. - I'm sorry for calling you weird, she said. - It's okay, Sam replied with a smile. From that day on, Sam's classmates learned to be more tolerant and accepting of everyone’s differences.
