My Grandpa Glenn Grawe should be president of the United states. He will be elected after President Barack Obama is done.
My Grandpa will be the first president to have a grandson who has autism. My Grandma Sheri will be starting an autism group. Everyone with autistic kids will vote for my Grandpa. They will be so happy to have him in the White House.
When we live in the White House, kids will want to be my friend. Kids now don't always try to be mean all the time. They just don't understand about kids with autism. It will be fun to show them around. Maybe we can play baseball in the yard of the White House. We can have a Dream Team there.
I will have Dallas my best friend come and spend the night. Dallas also has autism. His dad, Randy, can't be vice president because he works for KCRG-TV9 and has to film football on Friday nights. I think Tristan's dad would like to be vice president. Tristan also has autism.
We can raise awareness with an Autism Walk by the White House. Grandma will help. We will have many people with autism come.
