They say…
Autistic kids don't make eye contact
(not my boy)
Autistic kids don't like cuddles
(not my boy)
Autistic kids need you to do the same thing the same way all the time
(not my boy)
Autistic kids rock, flap their hands and walk on their toes
(not my boy)
Autistic kids can tantrum for hours
(not my boy)
My boy is an introvert
(like his biggest sister)
He is very sensitive to dirt, muck and things that 'feel wrong'
(like his mum)
He wants things to be done The Right Way
(like his dad)
He can't leave off something in the middle
(like his middle sister)
He sometimes thinks Sleep is for the Weak
(like three-quarters of his family)
He wants the world to obey his will
(like more Small Folks than I can count. And sometimes Big Folks too)
Sometimes my boy is kinda weird.
But aren't we all.
