Asperger's Syndrome
Did I have it as a child? Do I still?
"Have" is the wrong word, it's insensitive,
But yes, I did and do. I always will,
Under the geeky sign of Mensa live.
Maybe it wasn't Aspy's but something else,
An ambitious mother, my myop'ia,
Coke-bottle lenses were a rum thing, else
Perhaps I'd have been in kid utop'ia.
What is clearer than etiology,
Is that my make-up's mostly worked for me,
I was privileged with my psychology,
I fit a slot. Of the norm I was free.
As a smart myope was I excluded?
Some. But I see my luck, through eyes
occluded.
