Autism sleeps for no one,
It lingers into the night.
It is up with the stars
It sleeps only when it likes.
Autism has many moods,
It may jump from one mood to the next
So, as you parent your child
All you can do is your best.
Autism has many faces.
The faces cry and the faces laugh
Sometimes the faces have no expression
And it’s not always easy to read that.
Autism is a very big puzzle
And with each child it is different you see,
So, all you can do is one day at a time
As the pieces come together for thee.
