Autism - A Poem by Tiffany

6/18/2020

I am autistic
my mouth doesn't work right

and i cant talk like most people
that is frustrating
and makes me tired.

Treating the world to my thoughts requires support from a skilled facilitator
who helps me to create organized movement
my body is not always organized and that is tiring.

I am greatly diverse
In my thinking
And I am sad
That Donald trump is the president he is not free thinker like me
And that is tiring.

Tiffany is an up and coming advocate for people with autism and communication differences. She began typing to communicate in 7th grade and has been treating people to her thoughts since then. She has had support from many communication partners over the years in order to successfully complete high school, and is now in her second year in the College Steps program at Northern Vermont University. Through typing, Tiffany is able to participate in shared decision-making with her guardian in order to make important decisions about her life. Her true passion is writing poetry and she has a lovely way of expressing herself in her poetry. Her desire is to educate people about autism and help non-speaking individuals to find a voice.
