My trouthe: An Autistic’s Pledge to a Special Friend
To be honest with you, and to strive to be honest with myself.
Not to try to be more than I am, but neither to be less.
To always behave with gentleness.
To forgive, and learn by forgiving.
To be silent and listen when you need someone to hear.
To speak when you need someone to speak.
To trust you, and to be trustworthy.
To never do less for you than I can do.
To ask no more of you than you can give.
To think of you as well as myself.
To respect you as well as myself.
To admit my mistakes, and make amends, and strive to do better.
To help when you need help.
To be there when you need me.
To be a true friend to you in every way I can.
This is who I strive to be. This is my pledge. This is my life. This is my trouthe.
