Autism Is Her World

Autism is Her World

This little girl I’ve known all her life
Curls that bounce as she runs and laughs
Eyes that won’t connect with you
Frustration that turns to screams

Autism is her world

School can be a joyous time
A student of mine
Eager to learn, so excited
Always wants to please

Autism is her world

Smile is so bright and beautiful
Eyes that twinkle with delight
Loves all animals
Travels the world with her mind

Autism is her world

Stories that get written
Imagination that doesn’t quit
Knowledge that’s unstoppable
Hands and fingers move about

Autism is her world

My how she’s grown
Eyes try to look at you
Turning into a young lady
So beautiful

Autism is her world

Talks about her Autism
Knowing she will succeed
Zoologist is her goal
Countries where she will travel

Autism is her world

So many things on her mind
Worried and concerned always
Perfection is what she wants
Autism is her world
