Across the watery Beads 
That Roll

Across the storming Strings
Of Rowdy

Across the lasting Shrill 
I Perceive 

You spot 
The normal

Will the sane 
Come Back?...

There it is
That feeling again
The feeling that
I'll never be one of you
And that
No matter how hard I try
There's something separating us
And I am again
Second place...

I'm afraid of your weird looks again
I'm just trying to joke with you guys
[REDACTED] made the same joke yesterday
Why isn't it funny anymore?

I don't understand
What is this code you all have?...

Red swing dance
Smooth, cold touch
Foggy white brain
Froggy right pain

Blind, tired heart
Filmy white eyes
Bad handwriting
Bland crayon fighting

Cold leather book
Warm red fire
Nice soft bed
Rest my head...

Autistic blank gaze 
Graces the spaces of mind
Rainbow's grace bestows
Dark forest gives way to trees
A smile colors blank spaces

The world is loud
Everyone speaks in a rhythm I can't understand
They look at me strangely when I offer myself
And they believe I know what I have said

They are speaking another language
And there is no dictionary...

Cloudburst Louis
Paints in colors bright
Imagination driven
With all of his might

Blessed canvas glows
Pure horsehair magic
Beauty born from pain
Muse favors tragic

Autism schism
Torn from the world
Quiet little dolphin
Oceans unfurled...

O, I love my dear boy
So dearly and so blindly
I will give him my blood
And life if God permits so

He's so weak and sick
So pallid and so tender
But I know he's an umbrella of snow
In the wide-brimmed form

A rhyme, a loft 
Almost in the spelling of my own world....

I was questioned by my former in-laws
When you were taking care of the baby
placing the bathtub over the bathtub
Did you have modesty in your gaze?

I swear by God 
I tried with my passport
This led me to autism and dyslexia
Soon to be PTSD too!

Your mind is an open book,
A museum piece on display
For the world’s prying eyes
To gaze upon, judge, pulling
Apart each gyrus as though
Scavenging your thoughts. 

But you forget that not everyone,
Strange or familiar,
Holds the cipher that decodes
The jumbled text sprawled across
Those vast, weathered pages....

I’m sorry I’m autistic,
That I don’t fit your expectations,
I’m different I know,

But doesn’t mean I don’t belong.

I may rock,
I may cry,
I may try and try,
To be normal in a world full of expectations.

But I’m autistic,
So I’ll make my own normal,
I’m sorry I’m autistic,
That I don’t fit your expectations...

He can barely talk
   since he was born with severe autism 
I taught him a Lemon Piper and a Nat King Cole song 
He likes music! 
But will never have a girlfriend 
or work for pay 
   Friends, if you feel bad about missing out 
on fame or fortune 
Consider the case of Gabriel - whom we love 
Be thankful you can talk!!...

Autism has as I grow old and fading does
it mean the world has changed?
And tears as rain the salty taste her lips
Still kiss my face.

And now I hear at night the foaming waves
that crash upon the shores.
While out at sea and looking up the star's
reflect a face that's aged,
while deep in sleep it's he that finally comes....

I'm sorry I'm autistic, 
That I don't fit your expectations,
I'm different, I know,
But that doesn't mean I don't belong.

I may rock,
I may cry,
But I try and try, 
To be normal in a world full of expectations.

But I'm different, 
I know,
So I'll make my own normal.

I'm sorry I'm autistic,
But I will never change....

My nephew 
     has severe autism 
He has a tough time in 
    this world 
I've taught him to sing snatches 
   of Nat Kind Cole's "NatureBoy" and the 
Lemon Piper's "Green Tambourine"
   We all love this kid 
It would break his mother's heart 
  If he wound up in a group home 
So have a kind thought 
    for Gabriel 
"We must love one another or die"...

To the child autism it is like being in this very deep well. You scream to be let out but no one can hear you. Your alone and so frustrated that no one can hear you
So lonely, so dark
Love is the light. Shine on the child brightly
For when he emerges from that well. That child of autism will become a beautiful flower. From a caterpillar to a butterfly
