Number Six
Since my diagnosis
Epiphany moment of clarity
All the years
Of struggle
Feelings of not quite being
Had a foundation of meaning
An autism one stop shop
Place of sanctuary
The harbour of choice
When the world
The mind
Gets far too much too handle
Find it hard to connect
Even In a community of writers
Was encouraged to write
To express
Address my thoughts
At number six
The support network
Is the only reason I’m alive
My umbilical cord
That gave a little...

Irregular Shape
Feel
The judgement
In their eyes
Mention autism
See them orbs roll
Becomes
A dirty word
We are in the underbelly
Drenched in the bile
Of their contempt
Fuck the life struggle
The irregular shape
That won’t fit
Quantified labelled boxed
To satisfy society
Minds possessed
With different thoughts
Outside looking in
Classic hermit
Who shuns the world
Our circle of connection
Is atom sized
For splitting the fear
Takes more energy ...
The judgement
In their eyes
Mention autism
See them orbs roll
Becomes
A dirty word
We are in the underbelly
Drenched in the bile
Of their contempt
Fuck the life struggle

Quantified labelled boxed

Minds possessed

Autistic Penman
In this sanctuary of words
Was allowed to let loose
Bleed my darkness on the page
Without cynical judgement
I thought myself just a scribbler
A poetic imitator
My words are raw at heart
No Wordsworth No Byron here
Just an autistic penman
But in this domain
My inner demons
Have been given light
My struggles have been shown
To be mere drops in an ocean of struggles
I have come to appreciate more
The little gift I have
In expressing my self awareness
The deep has been my church...
Was allowed to let loose
Bleed my darkness on the page
Without cynical judgement
I thought myself just a scribbler
A poetic imitator
My words are raw at heart
No Wordsworth No Byron here
Just an autistic penman
But in this domain
My inner demons
Have been given light
My struggles have been shown
To be mere drops in an ocean of struggles
I have come to appreciate more
The little gift I have
In expressing my self awareness
The deep has been my church...

Unclean
Unclean
He’s unclean
I hear you say
Nothing new to me
Under this dark cloud
Tip toeing
Amongst the trash
Unwashed dishes
Looks so like a landfill
Inside four walls
Can wash my uniform
Get my ass to work
But my hibernating world
Is far too much
For me to sort out
Talk to myself
Never get the answers
Dancing around the problem
That creeps up behind me
Like a dirty little secret
Body on idle
Behind closed doors
Motivation is something ...
He’s unclean

Nothing new to me

But my hibernating world

Talk to myself

Timid Mouse
Irrational
Stupid
But still
It rules my mind
Fear of difference
Of change
Four weeks since
I’ve done a weekly shop
The concept of in and out
Has gone
It’s Queue, distance
The stress of not finding anything
Compounds
Stretches the fear
More of a recluse
Than I ever was
Might come out
Like the timid mouse
When food is gone
Stupid
But still
It rules my mind
Fear of difference
Of change
Four weeks since
I’ve done a weekly shop
The concept of in and out
Has gone
It’s Queue, distance
The stress of not finding anything
Compounds
Stretches the fear
More of a recluse
Than I ever was
Might come out
Like the timid mouse
When food is gone

Not Enough Resilience
Breaking silences
Is so exhausting
My voice is small
More a struggled whisper
No easing
From normality’s violence
Ahead the road of abuse
That winds on and on
Happiness seems
Something far above myself
It’s all I can do
To keep breathing
Not enough resilience
As everything conspires
To hammer home
The loneliness
Is so exhausting
My voice is small
More a struggled whisper
No easing
From normality’s violence
Ahead the road of abuse
That winds on and on
Happiness seems
Something far above myself
It’s all I can do
To keep breathing
Not enough resilience
As everything conspires
To hammer home
The loneliness

Social Distancing
Got a room
At the top of the world
Below is empty desperation
As rumours go around
About the end of everything
Life in lockdown
New buzz word
Social distancing
Extreme habit changing
Welcome to autism
All this fuss
Is what I’ve practiced
Throughout the years
No change for me
Snowflakes all in a panic
Love this quiet
Gives my brain
Time to breathe
Temporary for you
This loss of being
The echo
Has no explanation
It’s the constant
That’s...
At the top of the world
Below is empty desperation
As rumours go around
About the end of everything

Too Erratic
No voice necessary
I’m happy
With purpose
Repeating
An obsessive routine
Keeping in step
With my brain waves
But out of step
With world outside
It stifles my growth
Need isolation
Crave communication
Emotional stimulus
Need the silence
To repair weakened filters
Too erratic
To be mainstream
Classification
Subculture
Leave well alone
Dream of emancipation
True integration
For existence
Is not enough
For this oxymoron
I’m happy
With purpose
Repeating
An obsessive routine
Keeping in step
With my brain waves
But out of step
With world outside
It stifles my growth
Need isolation
Crave communication
Emotional stimulus
Need the silence
To repair weakened filters
Too erratic
To be mainstream
Classification

Leave well alone
Dream of emancipation
True integration
For existence
Is not enough

A Work In Progress
Come in
Witness
How autism
Really works
Just keep your distance
Be captivated
By the surprises
That reveal
A different humanity
Please don’t touch
Are we evolution
A work in progress
Tolerated
More than accepted
Ignored by the blind
Be aware
This won’t go away
Prejudgment
Might slow us down
But won’t stop the tide
A pandemic
Is at hand
Our virus
Has been cultivated
Grown in the public eye
Watch out
We are among...

Every One Of Us Individuals
If impairment
Is thinking different
Then I am impaired
The world is too grey
My mind gives it colour
The puzzle of life
Is mathematical in nature
Geometric shapes
Hold a bigger fascination
Than words from someone’s mouth
I am a prowler
Seeking truth
This highway is my own
What comes into view
Is for me to know
Our personal space
Is interrupted by questions
Constant interrogation
If I was normal
Would be left alone
On a spectrum
Designed for...

There Is No Off
If there was…
A switch
A button
Something
That would mean off
Let me at it
For in this mind
A hurricane blows
Thoughts
Scenarios
Constantly streaming
No respite no filter
It’s a wonder
There’s no explosion
Where brain matter
Is splattered
Against walls
Overload, meltdown
No vision
Red mist
Reality gone
Locked in senses
That can’t take no more
Release, decrease
Body shakes
Rocking to a rhythm ...
