"You Can't Be Autistic" a poem by Kit Foxworth

Greetings and welcome to the fourth post on my authistic blog.

This time I wanted to share words from somebody else. Earlier this year I joined several Facebook Groups in relation to autism - particularly women and autism - before my diagnosis in June. This is where I learned so much about autism and found people there just like me! 

A few weeks ago someone called Kit Foxworth shared a poem in one such group which perfectly summed up the experience of many adult women with autism. It resonated with so many other group members. Kit herself said she doesn't usually write in rhyming couplets but it worked well on this occasion and was met with many enthusiastic comments.

So a big thanks to Kit Foxworth for giving permission to share her poem.
