I try to smile back,
but I’m so flustered
that I frown at him instead.(Nicola Yoon)
Beyond his understanding
His little mind in turmoil
For lack of words
He cannot say.
His expression
An anguished scream of frustration
The only way he can communicate.
Sign his first language
It’s hard to find a way to say
Everything his little mind
Tries to convey.
Where did autism come from
Anyway!
Beyond the words he cannot say
“I love you”
Those three little words
That make my day.

Oh, how wonderfully this captures the conundrum of autism.
Thank you!
Thank you so much Cinzia I have no idea personally because one can never even fathom what autistic humans experience but I have two grandchildren. Who are on the spectrum and I feel so helpless sometimes I wrote that about him. Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
