Autism Awareness Month
I work with children with autism, so I wanted to bring it to everyone's attention, that April is Autism Awareness Month. For more information on how to get involved, go to http://www.autism-society.org/ . I also wrote a poem awhile back about some of the children that I work with, and have worked with in the past. Many people with autism are non-verbal, or have very limited communication skills. I wrote this for them~ The Interpreter In my dreams sometimes they speak as if they did it everyday Voices so smooth and effortless that I forget to listen to the words Eyes that seem to stare into a vast and hollow void Spinning objects in revolutions of endless delight Fingers that flicker and eyes that look away My heart tries to hear what they cannot say and in my dreams sometimes they speak Angela Minard 2010©
