Autism

From the moment I was placed in my mother's hands.

I've found this world too hard to understand.

Too much too see and too much to hear.

I cant cope with it all there's too much too fear.

Too many voices in my head

Speak one at a time then I'll hear what is said.

Don't stand too close please give me space

It scares me when people are too in my face.

Sometimes I say things that seem really rude or I may be happy but look like I'm in a mood.

I've funny eating habits and good and bad days

but please know it's not my fault I was just born this way.

I may be quite different from what you know. But please don't judge me by what I show.

It's a all a big struggle but I'm not a bad kid

And I'm certainly not stupid.

I was born autistic.
