The Cripple Effect

Cripple is fine as a word
When used crip to crip
But not as a taunt
Or a slam
Then cripple just ripples
Hate and disdain
Of me – as I am.

    Hi,

    I am a student graduating in June as a Human Services Major specializing as a Autistic Specialist. I have worked for months to get classmates to understand how they affect those with disabilities through action and attitude. I would love to use your poem as part of my senior project on awareness. I would also like to share it with the staff and personnel of the autistic school in which I work. You said everything I have been trying to day for months.

    Carol

    P.S. I am a disability student, thank you for speaking on behalf of all of us.
