I run my hands over something soft
Something bumpy, something smooth
There’s no describing how good it feels
Can you relate to that?
I’m in a place that’s much too crowded
Too much noise, too much light
My senses hurt me, overwhelmed
Can you relate to that?
Engaging with my favorite things
Special Interests, special joy
Makes me want to jump and flap
Can you relate to that?
Talking to people I do not know
Try to smile, try to listen
Being polite is a social requirement
Can you relate to that?
Accepting that I’m a bit different
Always have been, always will
I’m starting to love who I am
Can you relate to that?
I know my son can relate to that. We’ve talked about it. He knows he’s different. But he’s been taught to think that’s a good thing. 😊
