Autism: Where Learning Truly Begins

Steadiness is not built

By running, jumping, moving fast,

A wandering body

Makes attention never last.

Social skills don’t bloom

With toys that never speak,

Objects can’t replace

The lessons humans teach.

Observation isn’t learnt

By movement without pause,

Still eyes read faces,

Not motion without cause.

Listening does not grow

When hands and feet compete,

Divided attention

Makes learning incomplete.

Entertainment may delight,

But it cannot educate,

Fun without direction

Only teaches us to wait.

Language won’t unfold

By movement taking lead,

Words are shaped by listening,

Not only what we do or feel.

Discipline won’t settle

With hugging, climbing free,

Structure builds self-control,

Not constant liberty.

Social etiquette won’t form

Without distance and restraint,

Boundaries shape behaviour

Before closeness can be gained.

Cognition and language—

Common sense, thought, and skill—

Ninety-eight percent are learnt

When listening is still.

So if the mind is built by ears,

Why insist the rest must lead?

Why overload the senses

When hearing plants the seed?

Dr. Kondekar says:

“Hands, feet, and eyes may drift us far away,

But when we make them steady,

Learning deepens—

And intellect finds its way.”
