Autism is a severe developmental disorder that begins at birth or within the first two-and-a-half
years of life. Most autistic children are perfectly normal in appearance, but spend their time engaged in puzzling and disturbing
behaviors which are markedly different from those of typical children. Less severe cases may be diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental
Disorder (PDD) or with Asperger's Syndrome (these children typically have normal speech, but they have many "autistic" social
and behavioral problems).

"The misunderstood Child"
I am the child that looks healthy and fine.
I was born with ten fingers
and toes.
but something is different, somewhere in my mind
and what it is, nobody knows.
I am the child that
struggles in school,
though they say that I'm perfectly smart
They tell me I'm lazy- can learn if I try
But I don't
seem to know where to start.
I am the child that won't wear the clothes
which hurt me or bother my feet
I dread
sudden noises, can't handle most smells,
and tastes- there are few foods I'll eat'
I am the child that can't catch
the ball
and runs with an awkward gait
I am the one chosen last on the team
and I cringe as I stand there and wait
I
am the child with whom no one will play
the one that gets bullied and teased
I try to fit in and I want to be liked
but
nothing I do seems to please
I am the child that tantrums and freaks
over things that seem petty and trite
You'll
never know how I panic inside
when i'm lost in my anger and fright
I am the child that fidgets and squirms
though
I'm told to sit still and be good
Do you think that I choose to be out of control?
Dont you know that I would if I could?
I
am the child with the broken heart
though I act like I dont really care
perhaps there's a reason God made me this way
some
message he sent me to share.
For I am the child that needs to be loved
and accepted and valued too
I am the child
that is misunderstood
I am different- but look just like you
