That f**king Monkey On My Back
cutting presumptions
so many judgements~ made
because of labels
so many judgements~ made

21st Century Spastic
I am 21st century spastic
No window licker
More a window smasher
Don’t believe the hype
No sweet thing here
Caustic through and through
Science put me in a box
The label doesn’t describe accurately
What’s inside
That’s the trouble
Perception breeds contempt
Assumptions mark the signposts ahead
If you look in my eye
I break the stereotype
A little more dangerous
Intelligence and anger
A combustible mix
Don’t dare feed the animal
No window licker
More a window smasher
Don’t believe the hype
No sweet thing here
Caustic through and through
Science put me in a box
The label doesn’t describe accurately
What’s inside
That’s the trouble
Perception breeds contempt
Assumptions mark the signposts ahead
If you look in my eye
I break the stereotype
A little more dangerous
Intelligence and anger
A combustible mix
Don’t dare feed the animal

Ever Changing (effects of autism)
in the vast
realm of the universe
our colours shine
spiritually unique souls
that dance like
fireflies
rare beauty
found within
a chaotic mind
were our lens
captures
a different view
providing
a kaleidoscope
of wonder
forging our sometimes
innocent curiosity
for knowledge

About the not talked about
We don't talk about
the parents who are currently seeking,
sat and just about speaking,
waiting and waiting, unreeling,
the diagnosis they're asking for treating,
the two years before they could see it,
the three or more spent to decree it,
the lack of solution, the bleak disolution,
the millions of boxes to meet it,
the islands of adults unknown,
their youth, elephants in the room,
the decades of reports, of mumbled retorts,
the managing just to be being,
it's something you know - now to know it,
to acknowledge how we've...

My Little Heaven
I wonder...
If I could live poetically...
For one day only..
Just 24 hours..
What would I do?..
Didn't take much thought actually...
I would become neurologically altered so that
My speech will falter bringing me that
Much closer to my beautiful daughter...
In her world of autism....
Where I would give up the norm and
Embrace a new form of talking...walking with her
As she TAKES me by the hand helping me to
Innerstand the more grand plans beyond this land
Let her do the teaching

Autism Factor (we evolved with you)
inflated myths
keep us
undercover
washing line
labels
distracting
alibis created
to justify
discrimination
an official secret
to keep us
unkwown
open the box
to the
public eye
let curisoty
light up
our shadows
don't deny
we exist
we have done so
since man
evolved
with the Earth
keep us

Thoughts of August
Looking out the window and staring at my thoughts as the teacher mumbles something about Mitochondria. Why can't I find a desk that does not have gum attached to the bottom of it?
As I try to concentrate on the teacher it hits me like a ton of bricks - we need milk at home. My teacher is now talking about the nucleus of the cell and it is not lost on me that this class feels like a different kind of cell.I think the board of education should introduce my xbox as part of the curriculum. i could probably pass that class with a solid B+.

Radio Autism
This is Radio Autism
Calling out to the world
Is there anybody out there?
We are on frequency
Just listen to what we have to say
It’s no mystery
We do speak a normal language
Turn the dial
Feel our rhythm
Out on the airwaves
Make a connection
Hear the beat of our weirdness
We might be out of step
But if you catch the hook
The music is the same
Don’t be scared to tune in
Radio Autism is a different sound
An alternative view
Of what goes on
In this ever changing...

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...

Music Like Venom
Music Like Venom
The first notes
four chords of power
strike clean and true
too loud in my ears
idiot lights ignored
as music like venom
seeps deep in my skin
the silent intoxicant
a supple neurotoxin
as I lay down my mask
and trust my self
to just let go
and dare to dance
knowing no one can see
the masterful disaster
of dyspraxic, chaotic joy
Tchotchkes rattle in time
on the off beat of one
missed two and three
as my socks skim
safer than any skate
on asphalt or ice ...
