Autistic Smile Poem by Mubeen Sadhika

Autistic Smile

Rating: 4.6


Smile...smile...where to smile...
through ears...no...nose...
mouth is...for...sounds...
eyes can...hear...noise

Gliding in air...no body...
flapping hands...to feel...
screaming...not getting...ground...
belonging to space...in spaceless..

Touched...not...to be touched...
ate spice...feeling...the tongue...
cried...knowing...the agony
moved...rocked...sensed...senseless

normal...replacing...order...
abnormal...regularizing...peculiar...
populating common...in uncommon...
shutting off...connections..to connect...

That really is a perfect reproduction of the structural features of an autistic individual. Very nice!

You really understand the subject before you write about something. The unfortunate ones, in their own different world. a sudden reaction, caught unware, but they are gifted in some special way. They have some amazing talent. A kid I know can recollect any date of birth you tell him, and even the day it will fall on the next year.

very expressive of how others may actually feel when asked to smile. For some, smiling is just a reflex and the heart does not agree with it. The poem expresses that distinction by saying that a true smile should be felt from the heart. Thumbs up!

Very good. A whole world of emotions that fails to be emoted! I like the stop-start style, accurate in it's representation of the autistic world we couldn't begin to fathom. Great stuff keep it up!
