The First step

the way some of us look at life its either a happy or a scary place

easy to go through like an empty hall or seemingly impossible like an endless staircase

when an autism diagnosis happens to be a part of your case

what kind of things in life will it and others make you face 

they say that you dont know how you will do until you try 

if you lived through a life of a neurological difference how would you reply

one chance in our life in most cases is all we get 

and the best way to start is by making that first step

there are a lot of things out there that make you or break you

do you think autism would put you down or would it rightfully create you

some people are trying to get by and others are trying to get through

its best not to listen to all the bad things about it because most of it ain't true

sure its a hard thing to live with and it could make you question what did i do to deserve this

but we all should know by now that everything that life allows to happen has a purpose 

so lets say you get married and you have your first child 

you dont expect anything to crazy or anything to wild

but then all of a sudden everything changes overnight

your kid no longer seems to try new things and they cant sleep right

your little one goes from learning new things to not even being able to eat right

seeing your loved one struggle with there new life experience isnt a pretty sight

so the first thing you do is blame yourself saying where did i go wrong what didnt i do right

you might take the news hard like an open wound rubbed with salt

but you have to believe what happen to your child isnt your fault

i understand its not what you asked for and there's so many hard parts to it

i know what its like living with that challenge because i live through it

and having all of my experience this special life does require a lot of work to it

but i can gladly tell you that at the end of the day its all worth it

one day might be tough and it makes you not want to keep going you just refuse

but then after enough time and work you make that first step of progress and its huge

a part of life is about overcoming challenges thats a part of what we do it for

being able to prove everyone wrong and learning new things you thought you could never do before 

i feel like what we can all acomplish will one day change the course of history

because every day with a life of autism is one step closer to victory

History

 

Everything a person does becomes personal history. As history accumulates and becomes public, interaction with others causes a greater history that owns the potential to affect change. Anything done becomes history of one sort or other. Writing it down makes it a more accessible and lasting form of historical literature with the hope of becoming rhetoric. Just a few thoughts on how the future changes based on the operatives of history. - Just Bein' Lady A
