Guest guest Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 The sound of a child Children should be seen and not heard. Such noisy creatures. Babbling nonsense learned from their teachers. Except for one boy, he never says a word. The games kids play are absurd. Always needing a friend. Imagining a life that will never end. In a corner, all alone, he never says a word. With the innocence of a bird. They dance and sing. Wondering what newness the next day will bring. He spins the wheels on his toy car, and never says a word. All alone in the midst of a crowd. How strange he seems. In a world so completely his own, he dreams. Oh what I would give just once to have heard, not just seen this autistic child. -L.
