AUTISM SPEAKING

This is a poem
of Autism
speaking to you
directly
in person
face to face
very powerful
very sad
and beautiful
at the same time
If you knew me
if only
we had known years ago
what Autism is
what it does
now we see
through these wise words of truth
spoken by one afflicted
that there is hope
always hope
you can see it in his eyes
his expression
and his heartfelt words
if you knew me....
yes
we are so proud
to know you.



*Read his poem, then play the clip at the bottom. Watch his expressions as he reads.

If You Knew Me
