Autism

Autism Let me tell you about my life, are you listening? I’m here but nobody is listening, they just look and laugh. They tell me to sit up and act my age, but what about my pent up rage. I get up for school, what to wear, so that nobody will laugh and stare. Please help me feel good about my self, for all I want is to be told I have some self worth.. I can’t process like other kids, others expect me to be like them, I cry inside for fear of rejection, maybe I should just leave this place... Please look into my eyes, hold my face in your loving hands, kiss my tear streaked face. Autism isn’t something to fear, just know I’m Inside here somewhere, will you please just look inside?
