The Autistic Child

by Cheryl Merrick

The “victim” is diagnosed
as having a “developmental disorder”,
and the parents are told
     their child has “impaired functioning”.
Words fill the air:
     “delayed”, “abnormal”, “peculiar”.
They only hope therapy or drugs
can make their child with this “condition”
     “Normal”.
