Private World Speaks!

Ready or not it comes without persuasion

For every new day to begin journeys

In his world of wide or limited exposures!

You couldn’t really tell what goes on

But he emerges with some independence

In conveying meaning only he, well understands.

With his socially acquired words and expressions

He greets in his own way those he encounters

Sometimes with polite expressions

At other times, devoid of emotion.

Goings and comings of routine nature

Unyieldingly fills up his day.

Gadgets seem to interest him

Show him one not so complicated

And ask him to figure it …

By golly … you will not be disappointed.

Shortly … he’d tell you how and why

That gadget operates!

JK’s world goes roundabout school and home

In both places, he feels secure … confident

And open to some new learning and challenges

With which to prune, practice, and master

Then retrieve when necessary and demanded.

His extraordinary mind boggles and surprises!

Autism speaks!

It articulates for us the world of those

We find delicately fragile.

In its own time, it verbalizes for us

How to respond toward marginalize loved ones

Autism encourages us all to journey without fear!
