hello to everyone, I am in here to learn about autism a little more for my advocacy radio shows
because a person cannot learn too much about autism.
I'm also here to share my poetry and read other poets on here.
I'm a 29 year old Male who has authored 9 books, two of which were autism awareness poetry books.
I look forward to sharing and getting to know people here.

Welcome!
I am also a poet. Maybe we can share work with each other, even though I am just a kid. I would like to see some of your work if you would be willing to read mine. We could give each other feedback.

don't get caught on age with poetry, it matters much less than in business or the work market.

A long time before I was diagnosed, I was a poet too. These days I'm too close to broken hearted and too used to being alone to put more than a word or two on paper.

hello Peterd, these kind of feelings can fuel my poetry, I started writing more after diagnosis I found because
I wanted to feel this journey through, grasp, and capture my functioning process and thoughts,

hope things go better for you Peter, depression can really be a shroud,
go out and see some people, a diagnosis shouldn't shatter your soul.
