Lyrics
Dear neurotypicals
I'm just so sick of you
Stop vilifying the
Things that autistics do
Stop silencing those of us
Who can speak to you
So you can act like we're all so much less than you
We are not demons
We're not diseased
From our core we are built differently
Im not a person with autism
I'm an autistic person living with your ableism
And I'm just so sick of feeling invisible
What must I do
To get your attention?
Raise up my voice and scream fuck Eminem?
Even marshal pretends
That he's not autistic
Cuz he understands
That stigmas define us
Both him and I know exactly what it means
When autism screams
When autism screams and it chokes
But the hands on its throat
Are the inherent traits that you use for your jokes
While you claim to be tolerant claim to be woke
Sure you glorify some unless they are broke
Constantly gaslit to the point of self hate
Drowning in Soul crushing suicide rates
They say the meek shall inherit the earth
Sure, if they can beat the odds and make it
Past the age of 36
But the schools are full of autistic kids
Hid behind masks
Covering scars on their rists
And you call the lazy, freaks
Stuck in a society
That is so hateful
And you treat us like we're ungreatful
So don't be surprised
When autism screams
When autism screams
Because autism speaks
Normalized eugenics and hate speech
Oh wait here come the tone police
"It's not what you say it's how you said it
Me and all the autism moms on Facebook and Reddit
Decided that your autism is too mild for you to speak for our kids"
(Who's autism is spicey?)
That doesn't make sense
Wouldn't you want those of us who can translate the experience
Of being an autistic per-
"Uh uh. It's person with autism"
Are you kidding me Karen
You call yourself an autism mom
And you don't think it's wrong?
That the people who are actually autistic
Don't get to define our own identity?
That "my autism doesn't define me"
But it defines you?
Cooooool
Listen this song is not for you
This one is for my autistic crew
Keep being you and spreading the truth
And express your feelings. Make art. Write songs
And scream if you have to
Cuz when we don't express our feelings they become secrets
And secrets make us sick
It's time to let them know our pain and what it means
When autism screams
