Autistic Struggles

I\'m Autistic

Only diagnosed recantly

Masked everything for 35 years

Hard to accept

Hard To understand

 

Family,Friends

expect me to continue

As I did before

I\'m trying too but its a struggle

Dont like loud,suddan noises

Like routine,like to be

within my comfort zone

 

Family says always work

I can\'t do that anymore

Its hard I need time out, a space

I need time for me.

 

Some family and friends

Don\'t seem to understand

I know I need to earn money to live

I\'m doing that

But what I\'m doing is enough

Can\'t do more

Some people expect me to do more

But its a struggle for me.

 

Some people are not understanding me

They think, I should be a normal 36 year old

Have a relationship, get married, have children, but thats not me.

Too much pressure on me being someone Im not and will not ever be.

 

You look at me and think Im normal

But I\'m not, I have a invisable disablity

I have autism. I can only do so much.

The struggle is there, the struggle is real.

 

I always do the best I can

I can\'t Please everyone

I\'m doing the best I can for me

I\'ve got to put myself before others.

 

I\'ve got autism the struggle is

real, the struggle is there.
