Autism Poem

My autism makes me do things and I don't understand why,
I sometimes hurt other children and sometimes make them cry.
I don't always understand the words you say,
with the sounds buzzing round my brain,
the tiny noises you can't hear,
I hear again and again and again!
I need the rules to be followed and I don't like it when they're not.
I forget I'm not an adult and I tell you off ...a lot!
Sometimes when you come near me I think you are invading my space.
I may have an extreme reaction because I feel you're in my face!
I like to be first at everything and may push you in the queue.
I do not mean to be rude it's just something that I do.
I like to be the leader and take control of how we play.
I may get cross when I find that you will not play my way.
I don't like getting into trouble and I want to be your friend.
The unkind things I sometimes do are because my brain won't mend.
You may see me spin, hand flapping and body shaking till I go red.
It's just my way of coping with the lack of balance in my head.
I get fixated on a topic and will speak of it all day.
I do not mean to bore you but it's important for me to say.
So next time you see a meltdown, don't look and laugh and stare.
The child is not always naughty.
Please be AUTISM AWARE. from Single Mothers who have Children with Autism

2. You can spot another child on the spectrum from a mile away.
3. Your child can have the same thing for lunch every day and always enjoy it.
4. You are no longer alarmed by piercing, high pitched screams but only by the sound of broken glass.
5. You have memorized all the theme so

ngs from NICK Jr. or PBS Kids after having to listen to them daily even though your child is now a teenager.
6. You never get lost anywhere because your child is a human GPS.
7. The definition of a clean house is now, one that doesn’t have an overflowing trash can, dishes in the sink are rinsed, and laundry is at least in the hamper or in the basket.
8. Someone walks into your house and asks if you live in a dangerous neighborhood and you say no… the window locks, gate locks and three types of door locks are to keep my kid in… not bad guys out.
9. Your child is over the age of six and you still carry a diaper bag.
10. Your stress level is equivalent to that of a combat soldier at war.
11. You can communicate with your non-verbal child without using words, PECS or sign language.
12. You have a child that enjoys stripping down in winter and wearing layers of clothing in the summer.
13. You still have to tie your teenagers shoe laces.
14. You can relate to most of these and probably both laughed and cried reading them.
15. Your freezer is always stocked with chicken nuggets and French fries.
16. Your child has to sort his fruit loop cereals according to colors before eating them.
17. You have a neat ‘mess’ of perfectly lined toys/items all over the floor that you have to step over.
18. You have holes in your walls that were caused by your child’s head during meltdowns.
19. You know your child pooped…you just don’t know where.
20. Your dating life has become non-existent …um…What is dating again?
