You people never took me seriously For you, I was just a problem child Who needed to be molded According to your whims and fancies You never saw me as an individual Who has his own thoughts, feelings and emotions My opinions never mattered to you You wanted me to improve my verbal communication As well as my body language But you never even tried to understand me properly It never occurred to you That there is a reason why I am different Or even if it did, you never truly cared What bothered me the most, though Was the fact That you believed you were acting in my best interests Of course, it was my mistake Not to leave this accursed country While I had the chance And seek my fortunes elsewhere A mistake I may probably regret For the rest of my life Anyway, as Arabella Figg once said "There's no good crying over spilt potion" I was a fool to listen to you But I have progressed in life Far more than you would've expected me And not because of you But in spite of you Well, I would love to meet you one of these days And prove to you That verbal communication is overrated Just like you yourselves are We autistic people can do equally well, if not better As compared to you neurotypicals Who are obsessed with correcting others Well, please look into the mirror And just leave us alone Worse than an enemy, is an NT with a saviour complex Well, we can see right through you You may think you are being kind and empathetic However, in reality, you are just a bunch of condescending wankers Who believe they are always right Well, there is nothing wrong in having your own views Just try not to force them down our throats I will end on this note Autistic people are human beings too It is time you learned to appreciate that
A message to everyone who told me to improve my verbal communication and body language - teachers, mentors, classmates etc.
