just another person who's autistic
seeing the world through distorted eyes..
just another number...a statistic...
don't bother with them you're wasting your breath..
just another person who's got ADHD...
flitting from one thing to another thoughts running free...
just leave them be..
while I scream 'please just believe in me'
give me the chance to show I can achieve,
it'll take a little longer,
but I'll prove I'm stronger,
You're not wasting your breath,
see me for me, not the number or statistic
not just another person who's autistic...
I'm me,
Believe in me and the things you'll see,
the places I'll go,
the things I'll do,
I'm autistic not a statistic.

Re: just another

Well done, Lydia! I loved "I'm autistic not a statistic." This is very true, we are more than just a statistic; we're human beings too!
