The background is loud and crowded with plots; blended conversations, a threat to my thoughts. Clusters of shapes invade my blank space, shifting without an object to chase. You float like a figure, just passing through, with the lighting too sheen to hold on to you. When the background is different, you have changed like an undone puzzle, rearranged. Do you remember me,...

Autism's Secret Now Unfolds
In the world where this secret dwells, One truth shines bright, my tale to tell, Autism, a spectrum vast and wide, In its embrace, I've learned to hide. Level one, a gentle dawn, With minimal support, they carry on, Independence sings in their heart's refrain, Navigating life with grace through pain. Level two, a deeper shade, Where voices tremble, and fears invade, Substantial support becomes...

New Eyes
I woke up today, with new eyes, I watched the sun slowly rise. I watched the sun kiss the grass, Whispered I’m me at last. I went inside, I hugged my kids, They hugged me back with giant grins. I feel different, accepted in a way. Not by you, that's okay. Embracing myself today. I understand my weird little quirks, I’m starting to...

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....

Broken Feeling
My feelings are broken, I'm not sure that they work. I try to act normal, so I shrug and I smirk No emotions come out like the other kids do Its a kind of numbness that I'm going through. They tell me that I'm special and other nice things They don't get the attention that, "not feeling" brings. Telling...

Autism Masked In My Spectrum Of Color's
In light of the world, I wear a mask, A cloak to hide my daunting, task. Autumn leaves dance, but I stand still, Concealing truths, by force of will. A spectrum woven, colors defined, Yet, in this masquerade I dance, in solace I find. To navigate a realm that seldom sees, The beauty that resides in subtleties. Behind the mask, a kaleidoscope spin's, A...

Taking a moment to clear my mind I look around what is left to find Walking through this life Bringing on my own strife Who I once wished to be This old man I see Times I have pushed too far For that I carry my scar Been put down to my knees No one heard my pleas Prayed to the lord above Thanks to...

Neuro
Your mind is an open book, A museum piece on display For the world’s prying eyes To gaze upon, judge, pulling Apart each gyrus as though Scavenging your thoughts. But you forget that not everyone, Strange or familiar, Holds the cipher that decodes The jumbled text sprawled across Those vast, weathered pages....

Is This the Way Autistic People Speak
In realms unseen, where thoughts entwine, Resides a world, unique and kind. A spectrum vast, where colors gleam, Autism's tapestry, a vibrant theme. In minds untamed, a symphony plays, A different rhythm, a wondrous maze. Perception's prism, kaleidoscope bright, Autistic souls embrace the light. With heightened senses, they explore, A sensory symphony they adore. Whispers loud, textures sing, Each sensation, a vibrant thing. They see the world...
