Jack Hartmann’s I’m Just Like You is an autism awareness song inspired by our friend Victoria Gentile. Victoria is a special education teacher at Fort Salonga Elementary in Kings Park, New York. It’s Victoria’s goal and ours to show the world that people with autism are just like you. On World Autism Awareness Day and everyday we need to look for and realize that we have so much in common. A special thank you to the students and staff at Fort Salonga Elementary, the Therapy Dogs of Long Island and all the wonderful teachers who work with children everyday. Lyrics Hi, I’m Victoria Gentile I’m a special education teacher at Fort Salonga Elementary School in Kings Park New York I asked Jack Hartmann to write a song to help children better understand autism Victoria and her students inspired me to write this song And my hope is that this song will help all children understand a little bit better that children with autism love to sing, dance, play, have fun, learn, make friends, just like you I’m just like you I like to have fun Sing and dance Play and run I’m just like you I like to make friends Share lot’s of love Will you be my friend? I may act a little different I may have trouble using words I may have a few more challenges than you But I’m a good kid in this world I have autism Will you be my friend? I’m just like you I have feelings too I get angry and sad and happy like you I’m just like you I could use your help Please understand, I need a little more help I may act a little different I may have trouble using words I may have a few more challenges than you But I’m a good kid in this world I have autism Will you be my friend?
