openyoureyes Report post Posted April 27, 2006 Just received a poem from a friend and it reminded me of a poem I did some time ago when we found our son had ASD just thought I would share this with you - what do you think? A Poem written by a Mother through the eyes of her 4 year old son who suffers with Autistic Spectrum Disorder MY WORLD My World is Great, Energetic and Exciting Sometimes I Fear its Confusing and Frightening My World is Organised, Routine is a must Sometimes people don?t understand me, I need people I can trust My World is like a Beautiful Summers Day But when the Sun goes in it becomes Cloudy and Grey I don?t understand Change and Your World moves so fast Give me a little time so I can adjust My World is full of friends and people I see But I love being on my own contented and ME I can speak very clearly and can hear just as well I just need time to work out the things that you tell My World is different without communication So when speaking to me don?t expect a conversation I don?t understand what you are trying to say I may just ignore you and go out and play My World is best when I know what I?m doing I need guide lines to know exactly where I?m going Its? hard to conform when you don?t understand It?s My World, I love it, but need your helping hand.

openyoureyes Report post Posted April 27, 2006 thanks for all your nice comments, nice to know I am doing something right!!!!! Went for my 6yr review today, thought I was going to be up for a battle but was quite surprised the school is on our side. As you are probably aware the government are rolling our there "inclusion for schools" prgramme from September 2007 therefore our son will move from the ASD unit he is at in Macclesfield to the ASD unit at the choosen school in Poynton, they don';t know which one yet. So lets just see how that goes!!!!! as long as the staff are on board!!!!!!!!! fingers crossed got to go as my hubby has dinner ready - yum yum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
