I was born the way I am.
Thoughts travel through my mind, like a tram.
I'm constantly thinking.
Constantly trying to get my head to stop clinking.
I over-think everything known to man.
Every action I take requires a plan.
Never getting a good night's rest.
Always thinking about failures, like a failed test.
Always putting too much thought into everything I do.
Always feeling like I'm insane, and being held by Elmer's glue.
There's always those stereotypes about how autistic people are.
How we're supposed to be "stupid" and looking bizarre.
Autism has a spectrum that is very wide.
There are so many different subcategories that fit inside.
Most people with autism tend to be smarter than the average person.
But the stereotypes only worsen.
There are prominent autistic people like Albert Einstein, Sir Issac Newton, and Elon Musk.
But we're not just brains living in a husk.
We're real people with real feelings.
Yet there are people that think autism can be cured with healings.
Autism isn't a disease, and cannot be cured.
People are born with autism, and cannot be changed, that is assured.
People need to accept the fact that some people are just autistic.
You need to stop trying to cure something that is normal, let's just be realistic.
