The Ballad Of No-Man Pam
Let me start by saying
I liked her.
It was as simple as that.
There were billions of people in the world,
and I liked maybe five,
but she was one—
complex and undignified,
farted with meaning in her beat-up car,
as the fog rolled in
and you were never entirely sure
where menthol vape met air biscuit.
We swam once a week together,
poured ourselves into awkward Lycra
and willed each other towards water.
Shy of babysitters, her...
I liked her.

Last Night on Revolution Road
Last night she came home with tears in her eyes
The years she spent coaching him came to an end
The little boy she aided through many challenges
Is growing up and in the future hopes to be a friend
She does the work with kindness in her heart
Giving them the tools so they can succeed in life
These children learn and develop new social skills
So that later on they can have productive lives
For all the days of frustrations there were also triumphs
It was a step forward toward an objective and common goal
Behavioral therapy requires...

Five Thoughts
Where Light Dies
Frequency of darkness
Tuned in to anger
Vicious vibrations
Reaching out for destruction
This is where light dies
Out Of The Box
The concept of autism
There’s no box
That can hold its diversity
New Town Leper
Don’t come near me
Can’t you hear the bell
I’m autistic don’t touch
I am contagious
The new town leper
Not Dying Today
Not dying today
One more breath
One more heartbeat
One more step
The little things...

Autistic me
Lifes been an echo
Inside a bubble
Full of trouble
And it bursts
Misunderstood
From the cradle to the grave
First steps to the Hurst
And it hurts
Inside a bubble
Full of trouble
And it bursts
Misunderstood
From the cradle to the grave
First steps to the Hurst
And it hurts

How Absurd
Oh society
ignorant scum
let's gather round
come mock
us afflicted
few
satirical rocks
thrown at glass boxes
cynical jibes
at the peculiar soul
so misunderstood
autism oh bloody autism
villain of the horde
behold experts
with firm opinions held,
diagnosing with labels
judgments fervently in BOLD
claiming to understand
to comprehend
it knows no end.
this puzzle,
this riddle,
a sin in their eyes
rigid criteria rigid thought
failing...

Mask
I'm nothing special,
I never have been,
Just deluded,
To think that, they could of seen.
Why don't they like me?
What did I do wrong?
I tried joining in, playing along.
I guess it's just, me.
Little glances,
The louder silence.
Giving out, so many chances.
Why do I feel this way,
They don't give a shit,
About what I say.
Yet here I am waiting,
For fake Nicities.
Turned to self violence.
The masking, the self hatred, I put on a show.
Hoping that they don't, know. But I know...

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...

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
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

we have done so
since man
