April is Autism Acceptance Month. For more information check out the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

You think I’m slow
You think I’m boring
You make my mother
Stay up worrying

You call me weird
You call me a freak
Yet I can’t imagine
How your world’s so bleak

I might seem different
I might seem strange
But together
we can make a change

I am a person
I don’t need a cure
I just want acceptance
this I can assure

I’m just like you
So please hear my plea
Can’t you see

The world isn’t you versus me
