I'm not all that good with the particular symbolism and symbolic language that most poetry represents; I'd venture that most aspies are the same way. I'm more into concrete plots and descriptive language that let you visualize some sort of scene. Maybe you'll get more replies posting in the art section rather than general? That being said, I'll try to offer something up.
It's about being an aspie and the challenges that presents us, that much I think is pretty obvious to aspies reading it, although perhaps not so much NTs. I like the rhyme scheme, very interesting. It puts a lot of emphasis on the final lines of each stanza, which seem to be the darkest ones. My take is that you read each stanza as starting from a point of light that progressively gets darker, and you distill the meaning of the poem by reading the last lines of every stanza as a stanza of their own.
Am I close at all?
well, usually my writing is pretty descriptive. but this was heat of the moment, and i was feeling straight-forward and blunt.

actually you're putting much more meaning in it than i consciously intended
.
or at least in the part of your quote i made into bold text anyway. that part i didn't really think about but it also holds true, yeah
everything else you mentioned was intentional and dead-on though.
don't know if you noticed though, but each line is exactly 8 syllables
