My Awesome New Way

The way I think is different
Trust me when I say
I have been diagnosed with Autism
It’s my awesome new way
With anxiety by my side and thoughts that won't leave my head
Each moment can get tricky but I have a good journey ahead
People say I can control my thoughts
Yet sometimes I really can’t
That’s why I need someone to teach me
So I can make a brand new start
I know it can bring out the best in me
But at times I need it to flee
I intend to have some fun
So join me if you may
But please my friend remember
Asperger’s is my new way!
