The Gift of Autism
They say there exists a disability,
one of which we call Autism.
He, as well as many others,
define this disability
not as an actual disability
yet as a special talent.
A method of feeling and expressing life
in a special way,
at a genius level
within one’s own specialty
If one is afflicted,
if in fact this is seen as an affliction;
why must they have to have undergone
This sacrifice?
And why does one individual
feel that this is an affliction?
You are special
able to express oneself in such a way
as no other.
YOU
are therefore,
a special entity.
Know this,
Remember this
And always be true
To oneself.
