The little river twittering in the twilight,
The wan, wondering look of the pale sky,
This is almost bliss.
And everything shut up and gone to sleep,
All the troubles and anxieties and pain
Gone under the twilight.
Only the twilight now, and the soft “Sh!” of the river
That will last for ever.
And at last I know my love for you is here;
I can see it all, it is whole like the twilight,
It is large, so large, I could not see it before,
Because of the little lights and flickers and interruptions,
Troubles, anxieties and pains.
You are the call and I am the answer,
You are the wish, and I the fulfilment,
You are the night, and I the day.
What else - it is perfect enough.
It is perfectly complete,
You and I,
What more-?
Strange, how we suffer in spite of this.

Sleep’s caress withdraws
I don’t mind, I have better
I wake in your arms
More sweetness from Pookey here…

Is Your Child At Risk For Autism?
Does your 18-month-old child’s language development seem slow? Has he lost words that he had once mastered? Is he unable to follow simple commands such as "Bring me your shoes?" When you speak to him does he look away rather than meet your gaze? Does he answer to his name? Do you or others suspect hearing loss? Does he have an unusually long attention span? Does he often seem to be in his own world? At 18 months a child will typically do the following:
- Point to objects.
- Interact with his siblings.
- Bring you items to look at.
- Look directly at you when you speak to him.
- Follow your gaze to locate an object when you point across the room.
- Engage in "pretend play" such as feeding a doll or making a toy dog bark.
Autism is a developmental disability that impairs social and language development. It occurs in families from every class, culture and ethnic background. It is not a mental illness and it is not caused by trauma - it is neurobiological and its symptoms can be greatly reduced by early diagnosis and treatment. If you are concerned about your answers to some of the above questions, speak to your pediatrician about an autism screening.
An Early Diagnosis Provides the Best Chance for Success.
Children affected by autism often look like any other child. Like snowflakes, no two people diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder are the same. What they share in common is a neurological disorder that causes impaired communication and socialization as well as unusual interests or behaviors and special challenges.
