Aspie State of Mind

Understanding; something of which there is very little,
For I am just the odd one out.

I see paterns but no faces,
I see things but no places,
I see pictures but no people,
So don't expect me to be social.

Flap flap flap away,
Maybe one day people will leave me be,
Make me free, free to be me,
Free from trivial social rules,
Free from small talk,
Free from conformity;
Clear ideas in your minds,
But abstract in mine.

It's not a disorder,
It's just different,
Don't fear what you don't understand,
Here, take my hand,
It's not that bad,
Am I normal? No,
But of that I'm quite glad.

No says you,
I'm different so I'm wrong,
I'm weird so I don't belong,
But Asperger's needs no cure.

Ignorance does.

Bravo! Standing ovation!!

(except, me, i can't stand "taking hands", or shaking them, etc. my counselor figured out it's because i have very sensitive fingertips, also usually ice cold ones.....need to live in the days when ladies wore gloves)

retraction:

i am very sorry that i did not add that "i did not like it" because "i did not understand it".

i did not judge it from any understanding and say i did not like it. i can not judge it because i do not understand it so i said "i did not like it" because i did not understand it.

whatever sorry
