Autism is Not a Problem

Neurodivergence is beautiful.

Autism is not a flaw,

I can love just like you do

I feel just like you do

I cry, I laugh, I smile

I wonder, I learn, I create

I feel burdened with too many ideas

But that doesn’t mean, I can’t function

It means, I see things differently

And the world I live in, is not built for me

But I continue to show up, to be brave

To show the world that I am me,

And that is lovely,

And there is nothing wrong with me,

Because the last thing I need,

Is another jerk telling me I’m stupid

I’m a joke, and I’ll never do things.

You will NEVER understand our pain

You will NEVER understand our way

And that’s okay, but don’t you dare

Don’t you dare take away the dreams

And the hopes, and the aspirations

Of young kids on the spectrum

By telling them they will never do things.

They can do anything.

They can be anything.

They are outstanding.

They are our future.
