Autism

 This is such a lovely poem to explain Autism.💙❤️

Autism is:

Unable to speak, or maybe speaking too much

Hugging everyone, or disliking touch

Escaping outside, 

Or trying to hide

Excitedly flapping

Inappropriate clapping

Autism varies so much

Won't wear a coat, or wears one all year round

Fussy eater, or would eat dirt from the ground

Screaming or humming

Annoyingly drumming

Toys in a line

The same way every time

Autism varies so much

Struggling to learn, or has wonderful gifts

Obsessions of numbers, trains, films or lifts

Spinning around

Throws things on the ground

Constantly spitting

Aggressively hitting

Autism varies so much

Alone without friends, or controls every game

Always looks different, always dresses the same

Swinging on doors

Head banging on floors

Freaks at the dryer

Keeps climbing higher

Autism varies so much.

Can't answer questions, won't do as they're told

In their own world or bossy and bold

Over prepared

Anxious and scared

A spectrum so wide

But they all bring us pride

When autism touches our lives.

I support autism awareness...
