A Message from a High Functioning Autistic
Can you drive?
Can you go to public school?
Can you learn how to play guitar?
Can you read a book?
Can you understand?
Can you follow directions?
Do you hear me?
So many questions.
I’m here, aren’t I?
I can do all these things.
What are you thinking?
Do you care?
What is wrong with you?
Can you-
Can you-
Can you-
So many questions!
Why does it matter?
Why are you concerned with what I cannot do?
What about what I can do?
Be in a play
Lead in a musical
Attend High School
Graduate College
Work in Corporate
Mother children
Grow old
You think I can only survive.
But I can thrive.
Just watch.
