I’m autistic and apparently I shouldn’t know how to write a poem. Oopsie and sorry to those who have published me over the years.

According to US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, autistic people "never pay taxes, never hold a job, never play baseball, never write a poem, never go out on a date.”
