Dreams Into Nightmares

Delight flooded their faces with their second boy   

Ready with ideas that the two brothers may enjoy

Everyday play time in a special way

A brother will be great their first boy would say

Months went by and all seemed well

Something though was happening and they couldn’t tell

It was only when she stopped breast feeding, it showed

No tolerance for many foods and his progression slowed

The doctors were many and they broke the news

Our diagnosis is the same after all our reviews

No real trace is known of its origin

It can affect 1 in 1000 of our children

Got many who are worse that their son was

He responded well to training and at 6 years does

Things many other still find it hard to do

Many can’t respond to smiles and touches, can’t wave adieu

All the while his parents worked but each played their role

Remembering their other son and never yielding control

Even started a charity to help others like him

Spectrum Possibilities takes the nightmare out of Autism
