An Interview with
Aspergers
Wendy Lawson & her story
always new she was different
Very difficult to make friends
No flexibility
Obsessions of interests
animals and insects
Autism is: being present in this world,
But not entirely of it.
Tinted glasses
I am one step removed and curled,
The switch just doesn't click. Only cotton
Cant read body language
I perform the role of my perception,
And play many parts so well.
But minus files for my redemption,
Social skills by trial and error
My part in life I cannot tell. Uncomfortable when not in control
Life is like a video,
I watch but cannot partake.
My uneven skills are but an echo,
Of the frustrations which I hate!
