[00:00:00] A Portrait of the Autist - Dan Bull

[00:00:01] Written by：Dan Bull

[00:00:28] I'm awkward I can't talk to anyone

[00:00:31] I fall at the first hurdle it hurts to get it wrong

[00:00:35] My mind's wired a different way to everyone else

[00:00:38] So I might seem strange and be left on the shelf begging for help

[00:00:42] Placed in a position in which I'm desperate now

[00:00:45] Ashamed of my condition when I'm meant be be proud

[00:00:49] It'd be great to fit in and blend with the crowd

[00:00:51] Without a red face a sense of dread I'm trembling now

[00:00:55] I like things a certain way a pre-determined order

[00:00:59] And it disturbs my thoughts if the certain order's changed

[00:01:02] Uncertainty unnerves me close the curtains over the windows

[00:01:07] It's a curse Asperger syndrome

[00:01:09] We ought to stick around

[00:01:13] Be autistic and proud

[00:01:16] We ought to stick around

[00:01:20] We ought to stick

[00:01:22] I don't notice faces in open places

[00:01:25] My focus phases out and goes to blazes

[00:01:28] And an overloaded brain is no way to be social

[00:01:31] And say hello to mates is it

[00:01:33] It's made me feel alone for ages

[00:01:36] Because I know there's no hope to change it

[00:01:38] To most a face is an open page

[00:01:41] To me it's closed the prose erased

[00:01:44] How am I supposed to behave

[00:01:46] When nobody's taken a moment to show me the way but it's OK

[00:01:50] I still hope and pray the status quo can change

[00:01:53] And I still scope the skies waiting for blokes in capes

[00:01:57] And I'll fly when I know how I'm supposed to behave

[00:02:00] So won't you take a moment to show me the way

[00:02:04] We ought to stick around

[00:02:08] Be autistic and proud

[00:02:11] We ought to stick around

[00:02:14] We ought to stick

[00:02:18] Autism assisted me in becoming a poet

[00:02:20] Because I feel deeply but I just struggle to show it

[00:02:24] I care for those around me though

[00:02:26] I don't know how I'm supposed to tell people

[00:02:28] So I wrote it down prepared my vocal sound

[00:02:31] Then shared my opus on open ground

[00:02:33] Those with this syndrome are endowed with a determination to succeed

[00:02:38] That the non-Asperger brain often fails to achieve

[00:02:42] And yet we go off the rails easily but believe me

[00:02:45] I've seen what we can be when

[00:02:46] We've got dreams to reach that no one else can

[00:02:48] And piece by piece the diagnosed'll find the folks to help them

[00:02:52] To aspire to the heights their sights are focused on

[00:02:55] I know it's a long fight but we're the type to go the whole hog

[00:02:59] We ought to stick around

[00:03:02] Be autistic and proud

[00:03:06] We ought to stick around

[00:03:09] We ought to stick
