Crimson Friday

If Blue is Monday BLUES, then I assign color CRIMSON for Fridays - Fridays are playing a fiery catch up rush, on all that was due this week, not quite making the cut and knowing you are adding to next week's already big pile.

Harmony of the Autism Rhythmic Mind

Harmony of the Autism Rhythmic Mind

(Refrain)
In the rhythm of minds, we find our song,
Autism's beat, where we all belong.
Yeah, yeah. Uh-huh.

In minds unique, like constellations so rare,
Autism's mind, it's everywhere.
Questions bloom, in rhythm and rhyme,
Different beats, in every time.

(refrain)

In the tapestry, we find our voice,
A vibrant pulse, our unique rejoice.
Unfolding universes in our mind,
Patterns merge, understanding we find.

(refrain)

Autism's gaze, sincere and deep,
Into mysteries, fearlessly we creep.
In every question, a beacon's glow,
Autism's minds, together, we grow.

(refrain)

Embracing disability, let's learn and flow,
Autism's minds, new insights show.
In the rhythm of thoughts, dreams gleam,
In the poetry of life, we find our dream.

(refrain)

Inclusivity Mindset


Inclusivity isn’t a box to be checked, it’s a mindset to be embraced. Let’s approach each day, each decision, with the intent to foster spaces where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued - Victor Pineda
