Best Autism Poems
I rise at the center of...
Is it a room? This is a face.
There is motion, too fast, too clamorous.
Cryptic and opaque. Shapes shift
into my field of view.
Recognize! The message spoken
ends in an upward curve.
Interpret! It means a question
? ? ? ?
What to respond, when....
I get nauseous.
My body twitches, my mouth tics
I make no sound
I cannot speak.
I cast my eyes down.
Curl up, arms wrapped around self;
Rock to calm down again;
Count the tiles;
Hum Rachmaninoff.
What is this incomprehensible life?
My soothing world is filled with letters and words,
a keyboard, screen, and silent friends
They speak to me in sentences and formulas
of friendship and love...
on my screen..
I am afraid
I am always so very afraid
Once I was somewhere else
Locked up inside
My head
Once I was somewhere else
I will not go back there
I want to stay out.
For my niece with autism.
Her intrigue melts in silence
as she gazes up at me
a big surprise
behind those eyes
that only she can see.
She leads me off to nowhere
as she takes me by the hand
a quiet side, where she abides
but doesn't understand
Oh let me in to ponder
and be there when she sighs
As I try to see
the great mystery
behind Trinity's eyes.
Her innocence shines through her
like an angel in disguise
There's love that knows no boundaries
behind Trinity's eyes.
Attention may seem distant
but she's trying to show me how
she craves the warm affection
That I shower on her now.
In her own sense of wisdom
she can dream without the words
and try to share with those who care
a world meant to be hers
love you Trin.
This baby is being born with hardly a belly button the angel declared.
Yes, this is a special one sent to a family who is kind and understanding
It is not every parent who can raise a child like this one thus the button lack.
He is on the spectrum? Yes, a rainbow child, someone overly unique.
I have never seen another one.
How long have you been doing this?
Sixteen years.
You might not see another one for another sixteen.
Truly!
These rainbow children are special beyond special.
Sent to teach life lessons and patience to parents and teachers.
Sent to show peers that people do not all have to think the same things.
Showing them that being passionate about one subject is all right.
Sometimes even desirable. This one loves trains; it all about trains for him.
Will his nursery be in trains?
No. His parents have not met him yet.
They are doing his room up in dinosaurs.
Will he like that too? No He will scream and wail about it.
Will they know to change it?
Someday as they learn.
This is why we send the rainbow children.
To teach the world.
The angel smiled at the baby, in awe.
I have autism, mild MR, and OCD. I had those mental disabilities since I was three years
old. Even though I'm autistic, I'm still functioning just like everybody else. Having
autism doesn't mean one individual is from another planet besides Earth; having autism
means accepting for who he and/or she really is. Having autism also means that he and/or
she is normal, just like everyone else. I've learned that being an autistic human being
doesn't have its toll on me. Of course I will get married in the future and have a family of my
own, even though I have autism. Pretty soon, they will, too. The other greatest part of
having autism is when he or she is in their own world and the real world at the same time.
Despitethe fact that I have autism, I'm still human like everybody else. And if there's a problem with
some of us having autism, then that's on them. And like I said, I have autism and I'm very
proud of the fact that I'm still a human being.
Autism
Let me tell you about my life, are you listening?
I’m here but nobody is listening, they just look and laugh.
They tell me to sit up and act my age, but what about my pent up rage.
I get up for school, what to wear, so that nobody will laugh and stare.
Please help me feel good about my self, for all I want is to be told I have some self worth..
I can’t process like other kids, others expect me to be like them, I cry inside for fear of rejection, maybe I should just leave this place...
Please look into my eyes, hold my face in your loving hands, kiss my tear streaked face.
Autism isn’t something to fear, just know I’m Inside here somewhere, will you please just look inside?
O, I love my dear boy
So dearly and so blindly
I will give him my blood
And life if God permits so
He's so weak and sick
So pallid and so tender
But I know he's an umbrella of snow
In the wide-brimmed form
A rhyme, a loft
Almost in the spelling of my own world.
I'm sorry I'm autistic,
That I don't fit your expectations,
I'm different, I know,
But that doesn't mean I don't belong.
I may rock,
I may cry,
But I try and try,
To be normal in a world full of expectations.
But I'm different,
I know,
So I'll make my own normal.
I'm sorry I'm autistic,
But I will never change.
David’s Song
Little one, I have watched you growing;
Seen the joy of life stolen from your very soul;
Seen the wonder of your world disappear into a haze
Just beyond the reach of your hand,
Little one, still your feet would fly
To the sun – running to catch the light;
For somehow, somehow, you still hear the music of the God of life
Singing in your heart and your soul.
Little one, looking at the night sky
See the stars above twinkling in the clearest light;
In this time of dark and dreams God still speaks possibility
Calling out your name – calling you.
Little one, every day I pray to God above
You wake up some sunny day to speak God’s words of love
For though you cannot talk hidden in your smile
Your Creator’s face in your eyes!
For David and all those who suffer with autism
I don’t know how to swim,
but I can swim well
Ask me to teach you how to solve
a problem, and I am stumped
but tell me to move a mountain
and I will push it out of your way
I can do so much more
than I can explain
I feel so much more
than my words can express
and my body knows
my muscles know
every aching sinew knows
how to do so many things
ride bikes
shoot guns
arm wrestle
thumb wrestle
climb mountains
push, pull, squat, and stretch
but if you asked me how
I wouldn’t know how to tell you.
You would think having so many words
would make it easier!
but it makes it worse.
What if I can’t explain how I’m feeling
in English
so I think what’s the Russian word for that?
only I know deep in my brain
I should be using the French word
which I also can’t remember,
but only because Spanish doesn’t have
the word for it,
and I don’t speak German
So imagine -
everyone around me drowning,
me, for the first time, swimming,
but I can’t help anyone
because I don’t even know
a stroke.

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.
Autistic blank gaze
Graces the spaces of mind
Rainbow's grace bestows
Dark forest gives way to trees
A smile colors blank spaces

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

Well oh well were do I begin. When I was three and half they put me in the news
paper for autism but during that time it was called development delay. One in every 45
kids have autism to date. My mom still question to today why was I first in the program
to be put
in the news paper. What the doctor told my mom was one day in my twenties he will
surpass his classmate in learning. Well I went college and I was the worst student by the
end of graduate I was one of there best student. During take Trigonometric and
Precalculus
I did two assignment in 15 minutes which shock the entire tutor lab held by teacher they kept
informing me about universities.
In middle school I was a PPR helper kept thinking isn't this supposed be done by
high school students. And most importantly why was my name on the roster for
try out's for basketball. What I later learned was it is a difference between off a dribble
and screen pass shoot who knew. And why do the people in my city call me
Mr.Borgo I am
not that much older then them. And Ironic as it sound something I think about is that they lost
At state by three points.
Well to me if the nets don't twist up it like never went in. All I ask is
please tell me I'm Lying. Maybe I shouldn't went home bound. Who knew the future of
education would have a lot of autism kids. All I can say is Sony was one of my best friend
a child could ask for.
