Autism’s Rainbow
Rainbows are supposed to bring you joy
Instead, I got a rambunctious boy
No bright colors, like orange or green
No leprechaun’s gold, to make you prance and preen
Each shade blazing its particular hue
No sadness here, though sometimes fears
We take our time each hour, each day, each year by year
My youngest son (now 27) is autistic/Asperger’s Syndrome and you are right their hues are different but personally I find his uniqueness both beautiful and refreshing. Great poem we both enjoyed it.
I am so glad you both enjoyed it. Thank you. My son also has Asperger’s and every day is a new beautiful color for us to navigate.
I have Asperger’s Syndrome, and this really speaks to me. I love how you create different aspects of living with autism through different colors. I can definitely relate to this.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
