Oppositional

Oppositional

A Poem by Eunice Crankyponts
"

Parenting two children with Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) has proven to be the most difficult job I have ever had. I love me children and this is but a glimpse in to the world of Autism.

"

Chubby cheeked little man
Wide eyes
Capturing gazes
Melting hearts
Kind
Sweet
Loud
Obnoxious Screeching
Insatiable need to touch
Touches everything
Bumpy,
Soft
Cannot be dirty
Will not eat
Rough housing is not the word
Boys will be boys is not good enough
Constant motion
Never sitting long enough to think
Never sitting long enough to breath
Endless energy
Endless attention on some things.
Transitions
Not cool
Brushing teeth
Even more so - not cool
Do not touch me
I will scream
Water touches my face I scream
I am happy I scream.
Angry - screams
Words came slowly
Words are there but stil unused.
Refocusing attention
Transitional objects
Blankies turn to cars
Nemo
Dory
Squirt
Marlin
Disney movies
I want a drink of milk
I want a drink of milk
I want a drink of milk
Milk please
Milk please
Milk please
I will not eat
I can nock.
I can nock.

Little girl so full of rage
Will not write her letters on the page
One day she might go on stage
To show us all her fits of rage.
I hate you
Why do you hate me
You said no to my sweet little face?
I will bang my head
I am scared
I come to your bed climb on in
I cannot sleep alone
I will not sleep alone.
I am full of rage
I hit myself
I bite
I rip paper
I scream
Cry
Put my fist through a plate glass window
I cut my hair today
I don't know
I wanted to
Momma
I hate you
I love you
I hate you
I love you
B***h
S**t
No, I can't poop
No, I'm scared
Mom, I am scared
OF EVERYTHING
Don't leave me
Words, yeah

This disorder as puzzling as it seems
Does not make me love you less
Does not make you Rainman-esque
Although you like B. I G. K
A stereotype

Unfulfilled.
