Just don't

A short poem on an emotional experience with my son.

Don't stare,
He can see you,

Don't jibe,
He can hear you,

Don't frown,
He doesn't read you

Don't mutter
'Bad parenting'

Don't comment
'Control your child'

Don't assume,
You don't know him

Don't glare
At the noise he is making

Don't judge,
You don't live through

Don't pity,
For I love him

Just don't.

For he is unique,
He struggles everyday,

For he is sensitive,
He see's the world differently

As he is autistic,
As he is my son.
