Autism is My Superpower

Autism is my superpower.

I see patterns in the world others don’t. 

Where most see problems, I see opportunities and solutions.

I welcome everyone because I know what it is not to be welcomed.

When you give me the map of what you need, I’ll move the earth to make it happen.

I know getting up is the only option when I am knocked down by life.

I don’t need to be entertained, I have my own world in my head.

My gift is my unrelenting curiosity about the world around me

Because I have been misunderstood, I seek to understand others

I can adapt every environment to my needs.

I come from a long line of those who saw the world differently and changed it for the better.

I want to do the same. 

The world will be a better place because I was here.

I hope those who I meet will be more understanding of others who are different.

I will hold space for those who aren’t valued.

I will practice hospitality even when it is not convenient.

I will encourage those around me to take care of themselves.

I have survived so much and I am capable of much more. 

I will keep going and keep thriving. 

I am able to do everything I do because of who I am.

I am autistic and it is my superpower.
