I’m not rain man
Drop matchsticks
Watch me count them one by one
Clumsily dropping them as I go
I’m not rain man
I can’t tell whether your birth day
Was a Tuesday
Or a Friday
I’m not rain man
I can’t draw an image of vivid detail
Drawn from a single look
I’m not rain man
I can’t recite pi to a million places
Or do fancy equations in my head
I’m not rain man
I’m not the Autistic person
You are looking for
I’m not rain man
I’m not the genius
That you expected
I’m not rain man
I’m not the answer to all the worlds problems
I’m just
Me.
Does that disappoint you?
Because of what you’d heard
Because of what you’d read and seen?
Then I’m sorry
For your unrealistic expectations
Of me.
I’m not rain man.
I’m Autistic.
And that’s all.
I love your thoughts and they express well the non-understanding of Autism by the majority.
