Celebrating and honouring the special life and the special abilities of a child with autism, for the Autism Special Edition of ‘Learning and Creativity’.

Autism Awareness Special Edition 1

By Sudeshna Mukherjee
Come see my pristine orderly world
My private world of music and harmony.

Okay I will let you enter my world
Tiptoe please, loud noise jars
Do you see that arc it is my personal rainbow brilliant!
Come see my pristine orderly world.
My private world of music and harmony.
I feel best when left to myself
I know you are there
But my cocoon is my protective shell
In my world, there is peace
Am I making myself clear?
Why are you not understanding?
It is my world, mine, beautiful
Birds are not caged
Animals not harmed
I play my music so do they
Bright colourful days
Yet you cry white
Why? Why?
Why do you give me that look?
Are you blaming fate?
But I am God’s blessed child!

The Significant League is a Facebook literary group which was started by a person who has a child with autism and hence has a special interest in it which explains why every April Autism Awareness month the group tries to do something connected with autism. This time, as for last year, it has been to trying to get its members to write poems on autism. Some very fine poems have come up as result.
