I Am Autistic
Finally found out why
I felt so different for years
Why I felt like I was
always outside looking in
Why my communication
skills were never the best
It only took 43 years of
my life for someone
to confirm this for me
That Autistic is what
I definitely am
I don’t see it as a bad thing
Just an explanation of why
I was so different from
everyone else
It explains why I am not
a leader but always
the follower
Which can get you in
trouble just as well
I’m not mad it took
people this long to figure it out
It’s not doctors fault
they knew nothing about autism
in 1987 when I was going
through tests for dyslexia
and learning disabilities
I am autistic and I’m proud
I support those like me
and love to help them out
I am autistic and I don’t care
what other people think
I am autistic so just deal with it
