Take my hand and come with me,
I want to teach you about ASD/ADHD
I need you to know, I want to explain,
I have a very different brain.
Sights, sounds, and thoughts collide.
What to do first? I can't decide.
Please understand I'm not to blame,
I just can't process things the same.
Take my hand and walk with me,
Let me show you about ASD/ADHD
I try to behave, I want to be good,
But I sometimes forget to do as I should.
Walk with me and wear my shoes,
You'll see its not the way I'd choose.
I do know what I'm supposed to do,
But my brain is slow getting the message through.
Take my hand and talk with me,
I want to tell you about ASD/ADHD
I rarely think before I talk,
I often run when I should walk.
My thoughts are outside having fun.
I never know just where to start,
I think with my feelings and see with my heart.
Take my hand and stand by me,
I need you to know about ASD/ADHD
It's hard to explain but I want you to know,
I can't help letting my feelings show.
Sometimes I'm angry, jealous, or sad.
I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and mad.
I can't concentrate and I lose all my stuff.
I try really hard but it's never enough.
Take my hand and learn with me,
We need to know more about ASD/ADHD
I worry a lot about getting things wrong,
Everything I do takes twice as long.
Everyday is exhausting for me...
Looking through the fog of ASD/ADHD
I'm often so misunderstood,
I would change in a heartbeat if I could.
Take my hand and listen to me,
I want to share a secret about ASD/ADHD
I want you to know there is more to me.
I'm not defined by it, you see.
I'm sensitive, kind and lots of fun.
I'm blamed for things I haven't done.
I'm the loyalist friend you'll ever know,
I just need a chance to let it show.
Take my hand and look at me,
Just forget about the ASD/ADHD
I have real feelings just like you.
The love in my heart is just as true.
I may have a brain that can never rest,
But please understand I'm trying my best.
I want you to know, I need you to see,
I'm more than the label, I am still me!!!!

Copy and paste this as your status if u know someone with A.S.D/A.D.H.D or know the struggle yourself. When people tell you it's an excuse just read them this.

Took me so long to put this up so I was told my eoin dont have autism. As a matter of fact I was told there is nothing wrong with my son. They said take him to a park or swimming to burn energy so he will sleep 🤬 I have never felt so low as I do today felt 2 feet tall coming out of that room after they suggest I go to parent classes please I have 3 kids and I know there is something wrong with my son but because I complained I'm just after being fobbed off they had no report ready as they said the school never sent in there form which the school have done( even do st gaberials sent all the wrong forms in the first place ) the school is the only place that listen to me at this stage and I cant thank them enough for that he has a full time sna and he calls her his best friend 😃 so the minute I get the 10 page report I will be going further how dare anyone tell me what I already know he is my son and I know damm well there is something wrong. They wont fob me off just need a day or 2 to sort my head out and I'll be back fighting again 😥😥
