For National Autism Awareness Day, I have written a poem entitled:

The Normal Ninety Percent

[The Autistic Poet @AnAutisticPoet]

You’re the normal ninety percent, the ones who makes the rules.
I’m the other ten percent, a neanderthal that still drools.

So I have to follow your method, your roles, your phrases, your gestures.
But can you do just one thing for me? When I want to go off-script, just let us!

Y can*t quit spel* but I relay do tri
Scoll has so many different rules
Lerning wards without the tools
Every letter two me locks odd
X-ray or ex-rae* is it code or cod*
I cant explain fish too you
A different way of thinking* A condition thats cruel.

"This Lex Eye Ah!"

Inn a hire live* eye wouldn*t bee me

Hav you sin wot its like too have dyslexia end ADHD*
Accept that I want always no
Vein insults often get through own
Every 1 has men wards two say

Doe you now git why it*s hard my way*

2/3

[The Autistic Poet @AnAutisticPoet]

Viva forever. YOLO as well.
Each phrase feels different, like yours, but swelled.
Raise me up, like you do your other girls.
See that I am worth it. I just have different curls.
Enjoy your life and leave me alone, because I have feelings that you’ll never own.

[The Autistic Poet @AnAutisticPoet]

Every moment in my life is different from yours.
Us and them. You’re rich and I’m poor.
Rights and wrongs. I don't understand.
Oh look at that retard, a brain like sand.
-
Dont tell me what we can and can't do.
I have my own thoughts. As do you.

3/4

[The Autistic Poet @AnAutisticPoet]

If you don’t like me, then just leave me alone.
I’m happy here.
Don’t throw me a bone.

Give me my space, and you’ll get yours too.
Life doesn’t need to be a race.
I’m me, and you’re you.

I’m not like you, that’s clearly true.
I’m quite different, you’re white and I’m blue.

But we’re both shaped the same, circles and stripes.
Why do you avoid me? Do I give you a fright?

3/4

[The Autistic Poet @AnAutisticPoet]

I shouldn't have to change myself, but I obviously do,
If I want to live in this world then I need to be more like you.
So tell me how to be normal, how to do it right,
And I'll just copy you all morning, day, and night.

"The Part of Me That I Can't See"

[The Autistic Poet @AnAutisticPoet]

Please try to understand that I don't mean to offend,
And I can't see the part of me that you don't like.
It’s not okay that it's bad messages I send,
I don't want to give anyone a fright.
