Poppies are so Bright

Poppies are so bright and colourful, Their deep red a joyous sight, They glimmer in the sunlight, And shine through the greyest day.

Colour and Senses

I was going to write to you about the colour russet brown because I find them such an intriguing combination of words.

Thoughts

Have you ever sat down and thought about your friends or family and what they might be going through? Things they may not be saying to you or anyone else.

In all you read of Anika Speaks, it is not talking as a medical professional, or in any way inferring that your child is on the Autism Spectrum. There are common markers of the condition talked about and discussed, but that DOES NOT infer your child is on the spectrum.  ONLY when your child has been diagnosed are they officially on the spectrum. They take no responsibility for any misunderstanding. This an experiential site only and may give markers of autism, but no diagnostician is in any way represented unless directly written on that particular piece of work.  In the posts uploaded, any reference to autism can give you pointers of it but is not the full complement of autism factors in any way. Anika Speaks would like to wish you all every blessing and a greater understanding of what autism can mean, in order to help guide you to see some ways you can deal with different situations.  Thank you.
