My name is piper I am different than most you will meet. I am autistic and for me this is quite a feat. I try my best to make you understand. But the words do not come out on like some peoples on demand. I am sometimes upset the reason is unknown Sometimes I will make you want to scream but please watch your tone, I just can not express feelings that are instinctive to you The only thing that I hope is the cracks I don't fall through I am 5 now my birthday I just had A landmark for me is I didn't hide behind my dad. I sat at the table with my candles and my cake I didn't scream when you sang and in my presents I did partake. For other children trivial this might all seem but for me and mom this was all like a dream. I hope you now understand the color of my world after all I am simply a little girl. Even though you may be tempted to say something rather mean remember I still have feelings and your words can be quite keen So I leave you with one final thought and that is  just always be thankful for what you've got.

Wow, that almost made me cry! I felt the tears on their way, though!

I love the fact that you delve into a special child's life. I actually read this through initially without recognizing that there was a rhyming scheme, although I did wonder about certain choices of words. I think some of the lines still need to be adjusted to help form a consistent flow, as some are much longer than others and throw off the rhythm. There are also a few spelling errors: feet, for instance, should be feat (feet are at the end of your ankles, a feat is a challenge). 

Lovely concept. A telling piece of work.

I love your honesty.  Reading this, I tried to put myself in her shoes.
You know how I felt, I think she is more blessed than I am.  God bless.

I really like this. I have a 5 year old boy, diagnosed with Autism. And i can see him in this. I have tried a few times to write from his perspective, but nothing i have done gives him justice. Thanks you.
