My Ausume daughter

My Ausume daughter

A Poem by child of God

My daughter is autistic,
The dictionary defines that as:
A serious developmental disorder
That impairs the ability
Communicate and interact.
However, they do not state that
How amazingly kind they are.
The smile on my daughter's
Face when she has completed
A wonderful line.It's her
Greatest accomplishment
In her eyes.
However, the world considers it an.
Inability to interact.
To you, she is whining
But think she had to.
sit In a car where
She hears the wheels spin.
She feels every minor bump
The windows are down?
She hears the other tires.
wind in her ears.
You are playing music?
She feels that base.
She will have a meltdown.
It is more than just one thing.
Kindness is what she deserves.
not hatred and more.
Discipline
Yes, Autism has
Its highs and lows.
I will not deny that.
But do not deny.
My daughter.
Because you only
See the meltdowns.
She does not fit into your box.
She creates her own box.
I will not force her into yours.
I want to see her box.
I would love to open her box.
To the entire world
Your box needs hers.
When she is ready.
She will.
I refuse to change her.
I adore how...
She calls Bunny's.
Hop hops!
I adore her play
My Stimy Owl.
Stim on.
I will not force.
her voice out.
I will be her voice.
Till she can
She is not in a rush.
She is gentle.
She is smart.
She is brave!
She is Autistic.
