Dear Teachers of the World

My Baby has Autism
How can you help
Teach him
Learn from him
Understand him
Respect him
Laugh with him because

Maybe he'll be a great scientist
Or maybe he'll want to race cars
Maybe he'll teach the minds of our kids
Or maybe he'll heal people's scars.

Maybe he'll fight for our freedom
Maybe he'll publish some books
Maybe he'll be a great pilot
Or maybe he'll lock away crooks

Maybe he'll climb many mountains
Or sail across many rough seas
Maybe he'll be a great President
And make sure we all live in peace

My Baby has Autism. Please do your part.
His future depends on me... and you.
