A Day with No Words(Aidan)

A day with no words (Aidan)

Bright piece of sunshine
Lights up my life

Lonely family in the playground
Seems a little bit off

Grunts and stares
Comments and snickers
Go all around

Hand gestures and body language
Communicates what he wants

If he wants to speak
Hand him a tablet

I want French fries comes out
As people whisper and glare

Welcome to the world my family lives

From sunup to sundown
Not a word is spoken
But we’re talking

He looks like any boy
You wouldn’t know it

Has autism but when he shows it
Feels like we’re in a circus

Every eye on us
He pushes the button

To tell me what he thinks
Or for when he’s hungry

They label non verbal
But he talks to me in beautiful ways

Write a childrens book
To tell his story
