Let us be kind
Mar 17, 2020Dearest NeuroDivergent kin,
My kin who hoard
My kin who are tactile defensive
Touch aversive
My kin who self isolate
My kin who home educate
Never has there been a time
Where we know
More than ever
That our ways
Our autistic culture
Will serve us
And others
We are organically
Built for this
Let us stick together
Be kind to one another
Outstretch our hearts
As we already do
To our kin who are anxious
Afraid
And unsure
For a short time
The tide is turning
Where our non autistic peers
Will feel the anxiety
Associated with less touch
Less real time connection
Having to isolate
To work from home
To home educate
All the very things we have begged for
In order to be accommodated
As people with diverse needs
Let us be kind
Understanding
Empathetic
Reassuring
We are built for this.
