THE FOLLOWING WAS POSTED ON THE SINGLE MOTHERS WHO HAVE CHILDREN WITH AUTISM FACEBOOK PAGE.
If you see me at the supermarket,
and my child is screaming,
rolling on the floor
with anger seeping from his pores.
please don't blame me,
I was like you once,
If you are in a restuarant
and my child throws food and it
hits you in the face,
... please, don't be angry,
I can't handle any more rage.
If you see my child climbing over
a very tall fence with nothing on
except his hat.
Please don't call the police,
I only looked away for a minute.
If you see me crying,
as you pull up next to me
at a stop light,
at a busy intersection.
Honk and smile, I need a friend.
If you see me, running down the street
with curlers in my hair
chasing a small child
who runs so fast, I can't catch him
Help me chase him down.
If my child grabs your child,
or pushes him or bites or kicks him,
or says words that make your hair curl.
Please forgive him,
and me too.
If you happen to see us, walking
in your neighbourhood,
or in the malls, or at the park
Please don't turn away,
I was like you once.
