The A in Autism
written by: Kulraj Singh
They say the “A” in Autism
Stands for “awkward,” “alone,” “ask no questions.”
I say—please. The A stands for
“Artful,” “Awesome,” and “Actually, I’m fine.”
She doesn’t do small talk?
Lucky her.
He lines up his pencils by color?
Sounds like a Virgo with taste.
They don’t like loud sounds?
Same. Have you heard the morning bell?
See, we call it a spectrum,
Not because it’s dramatic—
But because every shade of it
Is nothing short of magic.
They might not fit the mold,
But darling, who wants to be clay anyway?
So next time someone skips eye contact
Or hums to their own beat—
Don’t call it strange.
Call it style. Call it brilliant.
Call it what it is: Different, not less.
I'm a high school student, science enthusiast, and passionate writer who finds inspiration in everyday brilliance and quiet rebellion. Through poetry, I explore identity, empathy, and social perception—blending emotion with wit. When I’m not in the lab or writing, I’m curating fashion looks and chasing stories that matter.
