Just because I'm autistic
Doesn't mean I'm mindless
Doesn't mean I don't feel
And doesn't mean I don't care
Just because I'm autistic
Doesn't mean I don't have a life
Doesn't mean I don't want to work
And doesn't mean I don't want love
Just because I'm autistic
Doesn't mean I don't feel left out
Doesn't mean I don't feel like a ghost
And doesn't mean I don't wish to be normal
But, just because I'm autistic
Why I should I be normal?
Why should I be like everyone else?
Why can't I be hopeful for my future?
Perhaps I am not so different after all
