Billy The KidWhile watching the video “Billy The Kid” I feel that Billy is a very smart child. At the age of 15 and being a sophomore in high school Billy's vocabulary is very fluent. When I was Billy’s age my vocabulary was never that well. Billy is very illustrative when he is talking about something or talking in general. I also feel for Billy because before I thought people with autism didn't know how to do things but Billy showed that they do the same things and feel the same way a person without a disability would feel or think.
In the video Billy was very aware of his surroundings and what was going on in front of him. For example, in the video Billy knew that what his father was doing to his mother was wrong and understood what was going on. He knows what he wants and what he feels. In the video Billy liked a girl name Heather and he would talk to her and go see her everyday. He even asked her to be his girlfriend. At his age many kids are not even aware of things. When I was a sophomore I didn’t really pay much attention. I think that when Billy gets older he will be fine by himself because he is very smart. I think he will be able to do everything that a person without autism is able to do. I just think that he will have to work on a few things like expressing himself properly and controlling his anger. If he keeps working on those things it could make his life go smooth. Also, I feel that he would need to work on learning to take things slow and be more calm in situations. For example, when he meet Heather and realized he liked her. He went overboard but didn’t mean it or even realize what he was doing. If he learns to control that I feel he would be able to live a great life. |
