I have a little sister, she’s different to you and me,
yes, she might be different, but it’s something you can’t see,
Mummy says it’s Autism but I don’t really care,
I just like to play with her, except when she pulls my hair!
She needs a little help some times, and gets her self into trouble
but I just love to help her, so that she will give me a cuddle.
When it is time to play, she chooses Doras house,
we dress up all the characters, even Faye the mouse!
Every night she goes to bed, I sing her favourite songs,
‘Fruit Salad’ and ‘Big Red Car’, I never get it wrong!
I am so proud of my sister, and I know she’s proud of me,
having Autism really means, she’s the best sister she can be!
