I am autism

<3

I am autism.

You think I am broken, but I am strong.

You think I am scared, but I am dauntless.

You tried to erase me, but I will not be silenced.

I am the woman that speaks her mind,

I am the boy whose love is gender blind.

I am the kid full of creativity, the one who has the great ideas,

I am the girl who dreams of equality, who doesn't give into her fears.

I am the man not ashamed to have tears,

I am the person that is timeless, my soul cannot be defined by years.

Where you seek order, chaos whispers my name.

Where you seek mayhem, I wish for peace.

I am intuition,

I am passion.

I am kindness,

I crave equality and peace.

You think I'm defective,

But your perception of me is deceptive.

For I am radical, I am rebellion.

I am new ideas in a world that longs for change.

I seek to gift kindness to those oppressed.

But for my neurotype, I am told others know best.

I will not be silenced,

Or told who I can and cannot love.

I will not be fixed, for I am not broken.

Social rules will not make me conform

Aren't rules made to be broken?
