Why the Dichotomy
I am often
Only who I'm not
But you don't care
As long as I have words for you.
You can't understand
(Through no fault of your own?)
That who I am
Is not the me you see
Do you want to work on that?
They ask
No I don't;
I want to be free
But in this world
The only freedom
Is to be
Everything you aren't
I read this and it struck so many chords on so many levels I thought I'd share it with you. Think about how you are around autistic people. Think what you ask of them. Think how you let them be, if you let them be. That question "Through no fault of your own?" Ask yourself that and answer truthfully.
