Autism Love
this is a great poem to check out.Autism Fan Looking back I can clearly see The signs that were there But being an uneducated parent I was so blindly unaware The delayed speech, the hand flaps & the covering of the ears Placing shoes in a row Potty training for years Worried and confused Off to the doctor we go To ask her opinion On why things are moving so slow She says Autism Is what she thinks it may be So off to see specialists To see if they agree Several doctors and therapists Evaluate my son The awesome world of Autism Has just begun Many scary thoughts Cross your mind No reason, no cure Answers nowhere to find Parents blame themselves And think “Why me?” “Is it my fault?” “How can this be?” But then you realize There should be no shame It’s not anyone’s fault No one is to blame So educate yourself Learn all that you can Listen to others And become an Autism Fan Tonia Horton 12/9/2008
