Autistic Poetry

Post Reply New Topic

Have any of you written prose or poetry about autism or being autistic? I wrote the following 10 years ago before I even remotely considered the possibility I was on the spectrum.






I wish I could not speak,
my silence unbroken by Lapwings.
That I should hid amongst the yellow gorse,
the deepest of sleeps.
Or in the forrest outside the town
My hands clasped tight about my mouth
For fear that the words I have yet to speak might unravel on my tongue,
and lead to my betrayal



Thats me in a nutshell chaps

Nothing specifically about autism, but I have written about various special interests.
