Autism and Aspergers
Two Acrostic Poems
An epidemic of growing proportions
Uses young children and locks them away
To live a life of solitude and misunderstanding
Inside a silent vacuum, separated from the outside world
Sometimes they can escape
Most often they remain inside, entrapped forever
ASPERGERS
A cunning syndrome attacking children
So many stolen and hidden away
Playing with the mind and body
Etching facts and figures forever
Rewinding and replaying again and again
Gathering knowledge from hidden sources
Each alike but never the same
Reaching far beyond the norm
Searching for ways to understand
