Beautiful Autism, why do you look so weak?

The world around you jeers at how you seem "wrong."

Beautiful Autism, why don't you try to speak?

The world should watch and tremble when you are strong.

Beautiful Autism, what is your exact diagnosis?

There are many versions of the "spectrum disorder," says the disillusioned.

Beautiful Autism, here is the correct prognosis.

The words of the doubters, those who dislike the truth? This illusion.

Beautiful Autism, allow me to shed some light.

There is no definitive label to say who you are.

Beautiful Autism, just one way to be a person is never right.

Everyone can fly high at their own rate, and all can go far.
