Mormon Aspie

A poem I wrote some years ago that expresses the challenges and the blessings of AS:

 

Brains

 

Well then he said to him

i don’t know but you think that i’m just spaced out of my head

And he took his brain out of his head

To examine it with his microscope.

 

Well when he took his brain out of his head

He felt dead with shock

Because his brain was like at least ten times bigger than his head was

And it had his name engraved upon it.

His name only.

 

Then the other guy he took his brain out

But he couldn’t find it very easily

Because it was so tiny

And he wasn’t even sure if it was his anyway.

 

And he said that it wasn’t fair…
