George Bowman has Down’s syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder. He has severe learning difficulties and cannot speak. He needs full support with most things.
This piece was written by Tatty Bowman, George’s mum, for Awareness Week 2020 in which the theme is #WeDecide.
I can’t speak
But I can hear
I can’t reason
But I can understand
I can’t focus
But I know you are there.
Don’t ignore me
Because I am here
Speak to me
Because I want to know
Ask me
Because I have a choice.
And if I don’t understand your questions, I will show you
And because you love me more than life, you will lead me the right way.
Tatty also wrote a piece for World Down Syndrome Day last year which you can read here.
