Pieces
I know people have heard this
From time to time
But people quite don't understand it
It wasn't as common back then
But now It's becoming more and more apparent
Autism is starting to become more noticeable
Not just in children but adults as well
Most people hear about it
But don't understand it
I shall give you my view on how I view it
I can't speak for everyone
Who has this condition
But I can give you an idea
on what It's like
and what we face everyday
Having autism is like going out in the rain
With an umbrella that has holes in it
No matter how hard we try to sew the holes
It doesn't last and the umbrella tears
Making the holes even bigger
People say to just get a new umbrella
It's not that simple
Every time we grab a new one
There are holes in those
And no matter how hard we try to fix them
The rain just pours harder and reopens them
Even in school
While there are subjects that we understand
And we pick it up quick
There are subjects that makes us fall hard on our faces
No matter how hard we try to understand it
It just doesn't click
Sometimes we're afraid to ask for help
In fear of being called stupid by our peers
Sometimes were afraid of making new friends
Because they might treat us differently
Than everyone else
Autism is both a curse and a gift
A curse because it makes us feel like we're not perfect
A gift because once we understand something
And it relates to a job that we like
It just clicks and we take it on full force
This is all I can say for now
While I know some may not agree with what i said
But just know
We are here for a reason
