We call ourselves Oysters
Because of the Pearl
The Pearl means POTENTIAL
For Autistic Boys and Girls
Since living with Autism
Is Quirky and Strange
Understanding is Difficult
Old Perceptions need Change
There are Good days and Bad days
And Goosebumps Galore
When our Children make Progress
and SMILE at us more…
But our Families are Different
Challenged and Busy-
and what we need the most
is KINDNESS, not pity
So in our efforts for Answers
and Research and Cures
We needed a Fundraiser
And the Oyster Emerged
With a Smile and a Giggle
and a Lighthearted nudge
We Celebrate our people
While we try not to Judge
Autism is large now
The numbers are such
1 in 100
We all think Too Much!
Talk to the others
You’ll find Common Ground
The Forum is Easy
to negotiate around
Then go to our Storefront
Get a t-shirt or 2 
Give out a GIFT
Or buy one for YOU
Be an Oyster for Autism!
help us find CURES!
help us fund Research!
Help us EMERGE!
For all who ever Benefit-
We Thank You.
