Alyea Pierce - "Justin: A Poem To Autism" 

Autism is like a rainbow' different colors of the amazing Knowledge & Gift's that those with Autism bring your way day after day.

I am hated for being autistic, it is amazing to hear beautiful words. We can change the world, we just need some accommodations in this exhausting world. I love music; I have an orchestra in my head, its amazing and I hope to share my words with the world one day.

as a musical rant- ("genius" iq is overrated and geniuses change the world, I was born with a understanding of music and math, not an accomplishment if I didn't do anything to get it- I don't like being called a genius, my iq is 171, and maya angelou is the true definition of "genius... not me) with autism, named Justin, this fit perfectly and I appreciated it very much... thank you, good enough for what though, im just me, people born with skills aren't better than the ones that struggle to learn and get up when they fall...I admire those people. my biggest accomplishment was finishing a year of football and that was infinitely harder than learning moonlight sonata 3rd, on guitar.... sry for long comment, I appreciate your work, thank you.

This is so beautiful. Autism is simply a definition for being so beautifully unique some dont understand. Perfect.

I get choked up at the first line. I have a Justin too. God Bless.

Autism is and always will be a character trait to me, not a disease and they SURE as hell aren't broken. They are beautiful people; more beautiful than you or me. Autism will always confound me, and I will always want to learn about it.

Thank you.

Powerful. Good luck to Justin with friends like you in his life he will do great amazing things x
