Their Own World - a Poem About Autism

The people blessed with Autism Are unique in their own way, For they live in their own world Each and every single day. The cause remains a mystery No two people are the same, For they live in their own world There’s no one that you can blame. They are special and quite complex Yet their hearts are made of gold, For they live in their own world Most do only what they’re told. It effects each one so different Many are smart and work alone, For they live in their own world Feel safest when they’re home. Many of them can learn when taught But only at their own pace, For they live in their own world Patience is what it takes. Their uniqueness is a blessing Take each day that you can get, For they live in their own world You will know when you have met. Experts say they must have sameness I found this not to be true, For they live in their own world They’ve feelings like me and you. One day at a time is a must Give them a chance just to grow, For they live in their own world Their talents begin to show. They all have their own little niche Some can paint do math and more, For they live in their own world Have faith and don’t shut the door. Some people are just ignorant Consider them strange a tad, For they live in their own world Which really isn’t that bad. So if you can ever enter Into their hearts you must go, For they live in their own world Which is difficult to show.
