Don't blame my parents

Don't Blame My Parents

Don't blame my parents

For the way I am

I was born with Autism

And doing the best I can

Don't put them down

When they're doing their best

I was born with Autism

And I'm different from the rest

Don't point and stare

If I act different in the street

They have enough to deal with

And have my needs to meet

Don't laugh at their expense

If they're finding it hard to cope

Listen to their worries

And please give them hope

Don't say that you could manage

If you were wearing their shoes

It's easy to make judgement

When you've got a path to choose

Don't judge my parents

Walk in their shoes for a day

Maybe you wouldn't be so willing

To have so much to say

By Donna Woods

From here.

I read this poem today. It was shared in one of the many Autism groups I am in. I love how eloquently Donna writes.
