I don't want aspergers

Sometimes, slowly, time brings revelation
Waiting, softly, for someone to believe
That the ghosts we've hidden and left to die
Are now arisen and will survive to say
What has happened
Say what has happened
Say what has happened
To me

And who would've thought that you'd be the one
That I would've found here waiting
Lost in this night until you arrived
Always too blind to see

And who would've thought that after this time
That I'd be the one you're saving
Lost in this night, the note that survives
Say what was meant to be

I never wanted to give my life away
Whoever thought it would matter anyway
Wandering inside this night
Finding pieces of a life
Never sure I'd ever know what it means

It's the strangers in your life that you never thought you'd meet
It's the hand that picks you up when you're laying in the street
It's the hand that cuts you down
It's the dream that someone shared
When you thought that all was lost
It's the friend who wasn't there

You can run from all the memory but never get that far
For in the end they'll find you
For this is who you are

Change one look
Change one line
Nothing's going to be the same
Change one loss
Change one cut
Everything is rearranged
Every act
Cruel or kind
Lost inside our memory
If you look
There in time
You'll find it in, find it in, find it in, find it in, find it in, find it in...me.

From the moment I heard them they seemed to speak to something I couldn't quite put my finger on in me. When I accepted I had Asperger's, it became clear that it's a perfect expression of my attitude towards myself and my life as an aspie.
