| The differences are obivous |
| We like things. |
| We try to make friends. |
| We love people. |
|
| They fixate on objects. |
| They display attention-seeking behaviors. |
| They develop dependencies. |
|
 |
| We take a break. |
| We have hobbies. |
| We persevere. |
| We insist. |
| We have talents. |
| We stand up for ourselves. |
|
| They go off task. |
| They self-stim. |
| They perseverate. |
| They tantrum. |
| They have splinter skills. |
| They are noncompliant. |
|
 |
| We change our minds. |
| We are caregivers. |
|
| They have short attention spans. |
| They are clients. |
|
| From the original poem by Mayer Shevin |
