I am autistic.
Autistic, not dumb, just broken.
Broken on the inside, not on the outside.
Outside is terrifying me.
The world is loud.
Loud and not like me.
Me, I am different, but not dumb.
Dumb is not what I will become.
Become my own self. Becoming something good.
Good for this world and for my future girl.
Girl, would you love me even if I am different?
Different from you, but not from your love.
Love is what I want. For us.
Us. The best word that ever existed.
Existed is your presence. Close to me.
Me, I am different, but not dumb.
Just autistic.
