Boy's writes poem to help classmates understand his autism

This poem was submitted by Candace Thompson. It was written by her 11-year-old son Jadon, who is on the autism spectrum. Jadon wrote the poem so that his classmates and teacher can "understand what it's like to have autism and how noises hurt his ears." In a world where your ears never get a break from noise I wish I could cry out for the noise to go far, far, far away but I can't, nobody can It's only a thought, a dream As I look up to the sky, I see something out of the blue It takes me a while to see what it is But when I do see it it come down It's a Huge umbrella As soon as I grab the candy cane handle I take off into the clouds whoosh It's silent up there very very silent As I look down everything is the size of pebbles. Then I miss them I miss my friends, my family, and my pets and teachers While I was looking down I lower more and more to the ground until my feet touch the ground Now I miss the quietness But hey that's life and that's out of our control Now I'm heading to school, into the bus I mumble go away noise I walk into the screaming school and into the chattering classroom As I much as I dislike noise but I also like it too
