FW: [PDD-BPkids] My Unfavorite Things (from an Autism website)

[Guest guest]

Got this from another group and thought it

was not only cute but very much how many of our kids feel.

Here's a song by Jessadriel Darkmountain (to the tune of

" My Favorite Things " from the Sound of Music):

My Unfavorite Things

Bright clashing colors, machines that keep beeping,

Phones and alarm clocks that ring when I'm sleeping,

Getting told off when I'm scattered or late,

These are a few of the things that I hate.

Tags in my clothing and seams in my stocking,

Those who say " teasing " when really it's " mocking " ,

Fluorescent flicker and noises that grate:

These are a few of the things that I hate.

Too many people in too small a room,

Vile reeking chemicals mis-named " perfume " ,

Voices too loud and weird food on my plate,

These are a few of the things that I hate.

Being expected to follow the fashions,

Not being able to share my true passions,

People who bitch when I perseverate,

These are a few of the things that I hate.

Indirect questions and vague explanations,

Having to smile when I'm losing my patience,

Looks of disdain if I stim while I wait,

These are a few of the things that I hate.

When my hands flap, when my voice fails,

When I'm meltdown-mad,

I simply remember - I could be NT (ack!) -

And then I don't feel so bad!
