Here's a light thing to discuss. "Being autistic is great"

I think it can be great, for me it certainly is now I'm retired as I have time to get involved in whatever interests me and don't have to deal with small talk at work. I wrote a poem about the good things recently which I posted on my poetry thread, but I'll put it here too. 

It's called "Autistic Joy"

 ************

Absorbed in interests

Immersed in their enjoyment

The world fades away

**************

Enjoying colours

Textures, shapes, movement and form

Sensory pleasures

**************

Enjoying patterns

Language, numbers, dance, music

Deep satisfaction

**************

Nature, animals,

Creative activities,

Deep knowledge diving

**************

Structure and order

Quiet, calm environments

Peace in safe spaces

**************

Accepting oneself

Not social expectation

Brings autistic joy
