Autism speaks
Autism Speaks, your claims have deeply affected us
Your words strike at our hearts. Cause fuss.
You depict an haunting picture
Instilling dread, in families a situation we must not nurture.You boldly declare, “I am autism ” with no remorse
Employing tactics without any discourse.
But within these words we dissent and resist
Your approach is something we cannot persist.Your assertion of power appears bleak and grim
Yet our unity shines bright; our lights won’t dim.
For we believe in love, compassion and grace
In togetherness hope and a warm embrace.Your intention to disrupt and bring about destruction
To steal dreams and strip away joys construction
You underestimate the strength we possess
As a community united we won’t regress.Families and nations join hands in solidarity,
Across borders, connected by empathys clarity.
We communicate not through fear or despair
Through love, for those who need care.Your claim that we are weak is a misconception
Our love holds a power that you can’t impede.
Though our childrens voices may sometimes be still
Their essence holds value; this truth we instill.Autism speaks, your attempt to instill fear
To create division and shed tears
But we stand united, with a plea;
We fight for inclusion and equality.Your words of separation of pain
We reject them for empathy is our domain.
Inclusion and acceptance are our guiding call,
Embracing diversity together we stand tall.So listen closely Autism speaks, clear, as day
We’ll challenge your falsehoods and fears that sway.
With love, resilience and unwavering might
Together we’ll triumph in this fight.This was written to speak out against an autism speaks commercial
