On World Autism Awareness Day

By Anna Krause

 Today is World Autism Awareness Day
But it's only a day for you
Autism is with us every day
So spare a thought, please do

Life for us is an uphill struggle
We face challenges every day
Autism will always be with us
It will never go away

It's important to raise awareness
To help others understand
We also need acceptance
And a helping hand

Autism is a long journey
That will never come to an end
It has its ups and downs
It's a never ending bend

If you don't understand Autism
Please take some time to find out
It makes life so much easier
If people know what its all about

Don't be afraid of Autism
You never know when it may touch you
Today is World Autism Awareness Day
So spare a thought, please do
