Okay, it's probably going to become a bit of a meme among Aspies. Bite me. It's funny (and also very true), ergo I post it.

My Unfavorite Things

Bright clashing colors, machines that keep beeping,
Phones and alarm clocks that ring when I'm sleeping,
Getting told off when I'm scattered or late,
These are a few of the things that I hate.

Tags in my clothing and seams in my stocking,
Those who say "teasing" when really it's "mocking",
Fluorescent flicker and noises that grate:
These are a few of the things that I hate.

Too many people in too small a room,
Vile reeking chemicals mis-named "perfume",
Voices too loud and weird food on my plate,
These are a few of the things that I hate.

Being expected to follow the fashions,
Not being able to share my true passions,
People who bitch when I perseverate,
These are a few of the things that I hate.

Indirect questions and vague explanations,
Having to smile when I'm losing my patience,
Looks of disdain if I stim while I wait,
These are a few of the things that I hate.

When my hands flap, when my voice fails,
When I'm meltdown-mad,
I simply remember - I could be NT (ack!) -
And then I don't feel so bad!
