Autistic Love
My child doesn't say I love you… but if there is ANY possibility that you're hurt, she will ask and make sure you're ok.
My child doesn't say I love you… but she will offer her hand to help you up when you fall.
My child doesn't say I love you…but she will look at you and lean over and kiss you on your forehead, just because.
My child doesn’t say I love you… but she always offers to share her food.
My child doesn't say I love you… but she helps her take her shoes off when we get home.
My child doesn't say I love you… but she gives her sister fruit snacks before taking a pouch for herself.
My child doesn't say I love you… but she will cover you with a blanket when she lays down next to you.
My child doesn't say I love you… but she shows it every day in everything that she does.
My child shows her love… and it's the most beautiful thing in the world.
About this poem
I have a 4 year old daughter who is autistic. Despite being quite verble and chatty, she does not say “I love you” ever. I wrote this to share that love can be felt so much louder when it is shown instead of just spoken.
