A sudden burst of laughter
A reach for my hand
Connection

A little smile
A tug on my sleeve
Connection

A squeeze of a finger
A small head on my shoulder
Connection

Holding my hand
While tapping
On a screen

Connection
In this moment
Means so many things

I am proud
I am hopeful
I see joy in his grin

Autism is a light that shines
Like a beacon
From within
