Autism

by Elsie aged 12

You feel different from the rest,
you want to get something off your chest,
you feel all twitchy when you are around people,
people you don’t know,
everything has to be perfect,
no red and blue mixed up,
no crisp packets opened the wrong way around,
you are not comfortable in a crowd,
you like to be alone,
you are always quiet
and only talk when asked.

    Rosie must be doing something wrong. The text of her poems in not appearing.

    Is Tilly your sister? Her poem didn’t come through either.
