I'm sorry I'm autistic

I'm sorry I'm autistic, 
That I don't fit your expectations,
I'm different, I know,
But that doesn't mean I don't belong.

I may rock,
I may cry,
But I try and try, 
To be normal in a world full of expectations.

But I'm different, 
I know,
So I'll make my own normal.

I'm sorry I'm autistic,
But I will never change.
