ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)

ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)
Words & Music by Anthony Doheny www.anthonydoheny.com
I open my eyes and see the world not like you all
My senses invaded like a crowded mall
I cover my ears to scream
I bang at the wall to relieve the pain
This frustration with no words how can I explain
But it's hurting me, its hurting me.
ASD in my blood. Leaves me totally misunderstood.
Structures I need to create or I crumble like flake in pieces in my mind.
I'm on my own. I'm in my little world
I find it hard to concentrate
But I ramble on, echolalia is strong
Socially I can't fly. I don't have the means to try
And look you straight in the eye.
ASD in my blood. Leaves me totally misunderstood.
Structures I need to create or I crumble like flake in pieces in my mind.
And I haven't got super intelligence.
I'm not genius, I cry for help,
And affections, I can't show feelings for,
And I'm letting you down, down, down.
My meltdowns are less Mum.
Understanding where I'm coming from.
I'm on a spectrum is so high, it causes you to cry.
ASD in my blood. Leaves me misunderstood.
Structures I need to create or I crumble like flake in pieces in my mind.

@9SuperMonkeyBall0 How was she cured?

You brought tears to my eyes. I cry and pray for our son Andre. Thank you!

@HonorableMinisterRay Don't feel sorry. To my family is a blessing to have a member with autism. My brother is my inspiration to be brave, to not give up in my dreams, to become a better person, and to always have hope. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Yes, it is VERY VERY hard... I too have cried, but that only makes me stronger. :)
