A neurological disorder,
In some children, doctors find.
It involves deficits,
A delay of the mind.
The children who are affected by this
Go through a great deal
They work very hard.
Their struggle is real.
Their parents struggle with them
Right alongside their little one,
Taking it one day at a time
With each rising sun.
Realizing everyday
That there is no one to blame
Only the disorder
And autism is its name.
