A poem to my autistic son

You are different

That’s what makes you special

You are more normal than most

Making no judgments that make others feel deposed

Lost in your own world

A world filled with love and joy

A world void of viciousness and cruelty

A world unlike what most are aware of

In your little cocoon

In which God tightly wrapped you

Away from the cruelty of this world of mine

A world in which your heart and mind are safe

Your words may be delayed and disarrayed

In them mummy finds love and joy

With God above

And mummy by your side

You shall have a Divine and fulfilled life

My darling saint Ralphael!

How beautifully you write of your special son! May he grow in maturity and capabilities...there is much potential ahead. And may God guide you in the best ways to help him. "Bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord," and you are off to a good start!

This is wonderful, but the greatest gift you can give your son is to expose him to the greater world and his own ability to make his own decisions as soon as possible. I know it's hard not to mother someone too much, but my mother (and father) allowed me to make my own mistakes, and I was much better for it.

A beautiful and loving tribute to your special son. You are each blessed to have the other.

Mercy,
Raphael may very well be the lucky one among us after all.
