Story

"This is Ted the Dinosaur.  


At first glance, Ted looks just like a regular, usual old Dinosaur.  But he is exactly how he wants to be.  He doesn't usually think or act like most Dinosaurs do, as he has Dinosautism’.  In fact, Ted can change into a different Dinosaur at any moment, making all the other regular Dinosaurs around him rather shocked!


Every Dinosaur with Dinosautism looks the same from the outside.  But Dinosautistic- Dinosaurs are not all the same, they have individual thoughts, feelings and actions that are unique to them and that are often misunderstood for bad behaviour or even attention seeking.


If you happen to see a Dinosautistic-Dinosaur having a ‘melt-down’ moment, please do not assume that they are just ill-behaved, a result of bad parenting or suchlike, it is merely a severely distressing feeling that the Dinosautistic -Dinosaur cannot avoid at that specific time regardless of any form of placation, avoidance or distraction.  And he or/she cares not that they choose to demonstrate their unhappiness in public places, because they are a DINOSAUR.  And Dinosaurs don't care, they don't have to care, because they are awesome!"
