Our flats where we live are 21 storeys high, that’s a lot of people. But everyone knows me, I’m Ollie from the 15th floor. I chat with people in the lifts, I like to cheer them up. I’m a bit different cos I’ve got autism, but we’re all human aren’t we? That’s what my Mum says.
In hospital they asked my Dad if he wanted to be in a clinical trial and he told them to eff off. I ain’t gonna be your effing Guinea Pig he said.
I didn’t understand why he said that because I love Guinea Pigs! I looked after a Guinea Pig for my school once when I was a kid. I called him Batman after my favourite superhero.
