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"

Sabrina Lambie May 16, 2016 at 8:06 PM 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 :-)

The Grahamburglar May 15, 2016 at 8:41 PM 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
