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.
