I’m autistic I’m not stupid I’m not awkward I’m not an epidemic I do have feelings I am empathetic I can learn I can create Contrary to what the great poet RFK Jr. proclaimed I can do things on my own I can love I can understand I know how things work Sometimes better than you I can laugh I can cry I get upset I get annoyed These all make me who I am A human An equal It is just sometimes I need support But don't we all at some point So please see me as a human An autistic human And be kind
