A child failed to speak and people wondered why.
She failed to cuddle, to react to those around her.
"Maybe she's deaf ." They wondered.
"What's wrong with our baby?" They cried.
"Sounds like autism." A doctor declared.
Bewildered parents prayed.
In a different place, a horrible tragedy happened.
Twenty children, murdered.
People all over the world felt the pain.
Angry people blamed mental illness.
autism, in particular.
They don't know autism.
I don't know autism,
but I know that we can't blame
these sweet people.
