I’m Gettin’ Tired
I’m gettin’ tired
of unanswered questions
of items not being returned to their correct place
of smiles and laughter when I tell you no
of you not listening
of you not sleeping
of chalk marks on my cedar house and deck and screens and the dog
of toenail cuts on my legs from you grinding you feet into them
of mixing medicine into your juice
of you knowing I do this but accepting it as part of life
of you hurting the dog because its funny
of you getting mad because the dog gets upset
of night terrors every stinking night
of having to watch everything you eat
of having to watch you every second of the day…you’re 4…when does that stop?
of you hitting me
of you screaming because you can’t get your words out
Yes, I’m just getting tired.
But I love you so much that I would chose not to sleep to help you get better.

Whenever I hear about parents bemoaning their autistic children, I think they just care too much about communicating with their children, and not about the important things that make autism a gift.

Whenever I hear about parents bemoaning their autistic children, I think they sometimes care too much about communicating with their children, and not about the important things that make autism a gift. I hope you see this, soon enough.
