Written anonymously by a friend
On the 24th august an announcement was made
Alarm bells rang as a friend was disdained
On mainstream media on a pedastool
Research was announced treating us like we are fools
Processing began…. Numb, shutdown, uncertainty
Then came the realisation, this was aimed at me
A direct insult, a direct threat,
to me, my children and those I respect
Anger and tears, meltdowns took over
Tears in the car, crying over and over
I think of my children so innocent and pure. We have to protect then… keep the scientist from the door
Autistic communities are loyal, fierce and strong
We will keep fighting, you won’t silence our song
