Kimberly Lowe-West Poet Free verse

Autism Awareness

Amazing God has created me, I am
Unique and Wonderfully made.
Trying to make sense of this crazy world around me.
Intelligent
Strong willed and often times
Mysterious

Autism is a spectrum everyone don't fit under the same umbrella and in this
World everyone is not same and don't learn the same way.
Awkward and sweet
Restlessness and Sensory Overload cause me to have a meltdown or tantrum.
Easy to get alone with once you get to know me.
Nobody is perfect, so please don't judge me.
Excited to learn new things, but you will have to invite me into your world.
Speech, communication, and
Social Skills are very difficult for me to learn so please be respectful and kind to those who are trying to help me out. Thank You

"In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you".
