When something makes you Happy, Sad, angry, surprised and you don't know how to express yourself then how will you feel? How will you feel when you have 1000 words to say but don't know the medium? How will you feel when you are trapped in a coffin and people call you abnormal or don't understand your pain. How do you feel if jumping or flapping your hands soothe you but annoy others? Do you feel sad, well this is a regular life of an individual with autism spectrum disorder?
