The Spectrum

by CatEstrella

Unable to learn "properly" Unable to communicate "properly" People think it means they are stupid Or retarded is the word used Most often nowadays They think these people Will never be able to Hold a real job or to have a family like the rest of us It is said by some That these people Aren't all there That they never Fully developed I've even hears some say That they didn't have brains And that they don't Deserve to live All of these things Are lies. These people Are some of the most Brilliant people in the world They can create things You could only imagine In all honesty, these people Deserve to live more than Those who spread all those lies.

This poem was inspired by the troubles my little brother and sister have to deal with at school and in life due to people's stupidity and ignorance of autism.
