I Support Autism Awareness

[center]Education! Education! Education!

Roll up! Roll up!

Free Education here!

As long as you learn what we say is important

As long as you are willing to hear

The necessity of doing as you're told

How dare you question us dear!



Might is right and teachers do no wrong

If your child is not fitting in

Then maybe here is not where they belong?

You're just his mum, you don't have a clue

The egg shells that we are walking on

In fact maybe deep down it's you!



Well yes it is lucky for you all!

To be blessed with children who have no needs

Of course I train him at home to shout and swear and bawl

Yes it really is a delight for me

To hear my son say he wishes he were never born

For everyday confusion to cause his fight or flight or freeze



All he wants is you to not give up

To understand and help him be

Be firm, be clear but be kind too

Just because he's clever

Doesn't mean he knows exactly what to do

You need to understand he doesn't have a clue



It's like he's in an alien world

And no one speaks his language

The busy school is like a scary riot

People moving quick and slow

Their faces may as well be masked

People pushing passed

Teachers shouting

Panic alarm!

He really did not mean you harm



What would you do?

If you felt like you were in the middle of a warzone

And didn't know who was coming for you?

Did not even understand your crime?

Knew there would be no fair trial?



I think you might run or fight

Now can you understand his plight?

Very powerful! If I may, I would like to share this with the teachers I work with. It says it all, really.

Oh of course. It’s not as refined as my usual stuff as it’s a bit raw @SW-User

@MayaHope It's exactly the type of thing that teachers often need to be reminded of.

Maybe, they’re not all bad. I was just having a disillusioned day @SW-User

I used to teach autistic adults and found it very rewarding.
MayaHope · 41-45, F
Yeah my son is honest! He can’t see why people think being honest is rude! @TheConstantGardener

@MayaHope It's a good point 🤷🏻‍♂️
