BEING AUTISTIC
by Matteo Musso
(14 year old non-verbal autistic poet, speaker, author, artist)
I am autistic but what does that mean? It means I’m full of so much that’s unseen.
It means that I’m different than most of the crowd. Should I be embarrassed or stand up real proud?
I guess that I’d like to be just the latter, and I work hard on it, but what does it matter?
“We are who we are,” is my mantra inside.“ Don’t worry so much about blending and pride.”
I thank God each day for that little voice, that reminds me each day, that I have a choice.
“You’re perfect, my boy,” says a much louder one. “I’m proud of you and of what I have done.”
“I’ve created some humans who are loving and kind, who are brilliant and unique, who’ll give sight to the blind.”
Autistics are teachers that society craves, to open their eyes to more simple ways.
We have no choice but to figure it out, how to find peace and what life is about.
Hurt tummy’s, loud sounds that escape from our mouths, Incessant screaming and jumps up and down.
Trapped thoughts held hostage, intelligence waiting, for someone to see through the façade
that’s prevailing.
Purposeful bodily actions we share, all messages for you to receive, if you dare.
You may not want it; many do not. But we’ll keep on sharing, just give it a thought.
It may require some action from you, a deep inner change or acceptance that’s new.
We’re persistent and strong, relentless some say, Also sensitive and knowing but that’s hidden away.
We want to have friends but require some things, like patience and excitement of gifts that we bring.
Society wants us, they just may forget, they want some reminders of things that have slipped.
Speaking without requiring a word, Tweet with your actions and heart like a bird .
Let’s open our hearts and release some more love. For everyone waiting, we give gentle shoves.
We might not present in the usual way. But what do you want? We’re not made that way.
Let’s open up to all the possibilities life presents. Don’t be afraid. You’re safe. We don’t have to all be the same. Autistics forge new possibilities each day.
We’ll help you; you just have to let us.
Love, Teo
