Benjamin’s poem about what it’s like to be autistic has spread like wildfire across the Internet and it’s been shared by thousands of people.
The poem has given a voice to all those who have autism. And it describes, in a moving way, the thoughts autistic people are forced to contend with.
“We were both so proud, and yet so heartbroken, that this was how he felt,” Benjamin’s father, Sonny, told the Huffington Post when asked about his son’s poem.
“Each like, share and comment he’s received since has made him feel like not only he does fit in and belong in this world, but has also moved him beyond words that he’s touched so many,” said Ben’s father, Sonny.
Feel free to share Benjamin’s moving words. Together we can help each other increase our understanding of what it’s like to live with autism.
