Perfect Me - My Son and Autism

I wrote this for my son age 5 who is autistic and my whole world, a very unique and special little boy. my heart xx PERFECT ME my son has autism but looks like you and me but there is one thing that makes him different and sets him free if he could speak and talk to you, this is what he would say 'my name is Isaac and I see the world in a whole new way and its better than yours, I bet you would rather it anyday the sky is brighter and the stars fly higher Id rather play alone, but my heart is big - its my home I may not know how to speak or act right but be my friend, wipe my tears and fight my fight im not naughty, I just don't understand - to me it seems fine just hold me and reassure me - show me the signs my world is a new world, a better one I see its one that is my own and what makes me, me im a little bit different, please understand it may take me a little more time so just be my friend and hold my hand I don't judge or take sides so im perfect in every way my mummy says im beautiful and a gift from above she always makes sure she shows me cuddly love because even when I cry, kick or scream and don't know why she says to me, you are so beautiful my boy, you are a gift from the skies"

thankyou, I also play guitar and sing and have written a song for him using these words for my lyrics and additional ones. autistic children are amazing people and before I had a child with autism I use to take life for granted and was so ignorant to anyone with a disability, not judgemental, just not appreciative or understanding that they are such special people with amazing hearts. my son makes my life such a more beautiful one, as he has changed it in so many ways :-)

Beautiful and touching write. I have a cousin who is severely autistic, and its really unfortunate how little people know, and/or care to know, about the condition. This was a great write, and an encouraging opportunity to see things the way you see them. Nicely done, it gets a 7 from me. -G
