A Poem by Andrew James Sanchez
The Following is a poem about late diagnosis and learning to understand and love oneself even through the Hardship of meltdowns, shutdowns, and everything in between.
From a mighty lion to a meager shrew.
Would they notice the change if only they knew?
A once-full moon now shrouded by clouds.
If only they knew and remembered me now.
A blooming flame that never burns out,
Why care if they see me,
If they’re consumed by such doubt?
Would they notice the halo where my horns once grew?
If only they knew, if only they knew…
I am a young multi racial author who wants to advocate for autistic individuals like myself by expressing the struggles we face and the beauty and our character and our victories each day. I have some trouble with communication and sometimes movement among other things. My abstract art and writing is how I communicate and survive. I hope to do all I can to contribute to helping people to better love and understand us as autistic individuals with limitless potential and phenomenal talent.
