I wish that you could see
My hidden disability
It may not be easy to spot
Until you speak with me.
Sure I am able to do many things
But socializing is not one for me
No matter how much I try to
I just can't talk to you.
My disability is harder to explain
Because unless you're willing to take the time
You'll never understand what I'm going through
And no matter how hard I try
I will never get my point across to you.
Sure I may be smart
That's because I'm always thinking
Please don't make me start
Explaining those thoughts to you.
It's true that I don't like crowds
Because they tend to get too loud
And I'm not good with human interaction
Because I'm afraid of my reactions.
Please don't try
To break me out of my shell
Because for you and me I say why
It would only be hell.
Just please let me be me
That is the easy thing to do
And if you can do that
It is easier for me to get along with you.
Now my disability may be different to you
And I know it may take
A while to get used to
But for me to adapt in society
Is very hard to do
So accept my condition as reality.

This is for everyone that doesn't understand what aspergers is, mainly inspired by my family who doesn't take David's or my condition seriously.
When I say my family I mean as in my Parents and sisters.
