ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)

ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)
Words & Music by Anthony Doheny www.anthonydoheny.com
I open my eyes and see the world not like you all
My senses invaded like a crowded mall
I cover my ears to scream
I bang at the wall to relieve the pain
This frustration with no words how can I explain
But it's hurting me, its hurting me.
ASD in my blood. Leaves me totally misunderstood.
Structures I need to create or I crumble like flake in pieces in my mind.
I'm on my own. I'm in my little world
I find it hard to concentrate
But I ramble on, echolalia is strong
Socially I can't fly. I don't have the means to try
And look you straight in the eye.
ASD in my blood. Leaves me totally misunderstood.
Structures I need to create or I crumble like flake in pieces in my mind.
And I haven't got super intelligence.
I'm not genius, I cry for help,
And affections, I can't show feelings for,
And I'm letting you down, down, down.
My meltdowns are less Mum.
Understanding where I'm coming from.
I'm on a spectrum is so high, it causes you to cry.
ASD in my blood. Leaves me misunderstood.
Structures I need to create or I crumble like flake in pieces in my mind.

You brought tears to my eyes. I cry and pray for our son Andre. Thank you!

Wow! You are a real artist on that sector! Very well done Anthony, really love your version! The song - no doubt - is awsome!

[@TheRealVenna]

Thanks Anthony. Only people on the spectrum or those who are part of their life would understand how thorough this is and how close to home it hits. This was beautiful.

Asperger's does fall under the ASD label. There are many different conditions that are covered by ASD, and all of them manifest differently in each person. It isn't something to be afraid or ashamed of. It gives you the ability to see, hear and experience life and the world in a unique way. Each condition under the ASD umbrella comes with challenges, but there are gifts that come with them too. Find your gift and run with it!

@HonorableMinisterRay Don't feel sorry. To my family is a blessing to have a member with autism. My brother is my inspiration to be brave, to not give up in my dreams, to become a better person, and to always have hope. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Yes, it is VERY VERY hard... I too have cried, but that only makes me stronger. :)
