Autistic Elements
A collection of haikus based on autism and the four elements.
Raw and Natural Autism
Autism is raw
Like plants that grow in the ground
Natural and good
Stimming Is Fluid
Stimming fluidly
Like a river to the sea
Rocking with the flow
Autism Is Alive
My autism breathes
It’s just as alive as me
Lovely living thing
Burnout
Autistic burnout
Scorches all of my senses
My soul is aching
Autism isn't something to be ashamed of. It's just as normal as the elements around us. It's a natural part of life that should be understood and normalized. Please take the time to listen to what autistic people have to say.

Bright red beet
The famous faux pas. Everyone makes one, and baulks afterwards. Of course, it leaves one at the height of discomfort. We do what humans do - make a myriad of mistakes. Admittedly, we can't avoid them, but we can make up for them with sincere apologies. We try to learn from these errors and move forward.

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.
