Autism

Autism

Born to be different, unpredictable and complex to read

This world of judgment is not yet ready to accept their special needs

Sparky wires in their brain prompt them to see things in a different way

Their emotions often run high; our society never misses the chance to give the disapproving eye

Sneaky comments they love to add, as if the carer was not challenged enough

Being their carer is not an easy role, Autism demands attention all day long

Socialisation is not their strong point and adaptation is not their best friend

Our everyday environments they often find too frustrating to bear

No-one likes having unnecessary rules forced upon, so why do it to them?

Loving them for who they are, even when they drive you up the wall

Accepting their souls just the way they were born

Because this is how you would want to be treated too

Their behaviour is affected by Autism…what is your excuse?

So keep staring at them, that might cure their Autism, and then we can work on your social skills.

I can relate, 100% as a father of an autistic child. I understand the frustrations and anger one can feel for people's ignorance. Almost feel as if this was written by me. Thanks for this.

This is a stunning insight into the challenges brought on by autism. You are right; it is not fair to force the rules of our society upon those who live in another world.

Thanks again, nowadays there are still so many who have no clues about Autism.
