What I learned as an autistic woman
Is simple: what I want dosen't matter
My dreams and wishes mean nothing
They're taking away my rights, yours too
Every breath is criminalised, my life is
misremembered, misheard, misunderstood
They want to babysit, gaslight and shelter
Treat you like a baby, a doll or a patient
that needs fixing, cured and then discharged
Autism is not my disease, heal yourself first
