Creative beams of light

We are the most gracious children of God

We are not just autistic

We are creative

We are brilliant

We are gifted

We were crafted out of love for life

We have beautiful brown eyes

We have shinning black eyes

We have healthy green eyes

And those other colors in between

We are bright beams of light

Taken for granted & hardly seen

We have long straight hair

We have sun tight kinky hair

We have curly hair

And we wear cornrows at times

because of our perceived weakness

We have triggers and ticks of all kinds

We are autistic

Yet we are divine

We are children geniuses from another space & time

We are guardian angels dancing & taping stick

Under a bright beam of light

Reflecting all that is pure

Reflecting all that is raw

Reflecting all that is us

Reflecting all that is love

Reflecting all that is just

We dream of one day speaking in a language called understanding

Hopping to not be misunderstood

We ask that you continue to have faith & patience

So that one day God will help you to better understand us

Love us without fuss

We cry not for us but for you

We cry for you going to school for years & still find yourself

Having difficulty with us

Open up your heart & accept us accordingly

We are autistic

We are creative

We are brilliant

We are gifted

But most of all

In the eyes of God

We aren't so difference
