As a mother, I will never give up on my child. As a mother of a child who has autism, I will never give up hope.
I look into his eyes and I see all the potential that he has to offer to this beautiful world and I just know that one day the world can see what I see.

Follow my blog as I share my life and my experiences as a person who loves someone with autism.

Blind

Blind
a poem written by Tanaya

When you look into my eyes,
What do you see?
Do you see autism?
Or do you see me?

Autism doesn’t define me. I define me.
I am a person.
I belong.
I am your friend, your sister, your brother, your child.

I am more than just a puzzle piece.
I have potential. I am a star.
And if you can’t see that,
You are blind.

Thanks for reading,
Tanaya
