Do You See Him? He is My Child. And he is dear to me.
He Has Autism. An Invisible Disability.

Do You Hear Him? You may not understand why he does
not quickly respond to you.
For he is not bad, he is just different from what you are used to.

Do You Know Him? You may find he will need more time to do a
certain task.
And if there are too many demands, please understand they may
be diffcult for him to grasp.

For there are other places I could have chose for him to live.
I made the choice for him to stay with me- for I see what
he can give.

He may not understand danger. I worry if he will be safe.
And I struggle with the many difficulties, and challenges-
"I Keep The Faith."
I only ask for him- One Request.
Please learn about him. So he can have a chance to give his best.
