We are Family

A motto I have taken up
is something simple
yet abstract.

The Autism Community,
I consider individuals
that are apart of it
as Brothers and Sisters.

Because
I am on
the Autism Spectrum

I call those on the spectrum
“my brothers and sisters
of situation”.

The motto is applied to them.
“We may not share blood,
but we are family”.

We are all in
a similar situation.
We live in a world
that doesn’t welcome us.

Besides,
a community is
a type of family unit.

We are family by our
neurodivergence that
we all share.

We don’t need
to share blood
to have family bonds.

As my motto says,
“We may not share blood,
but we are family.”
