“While many autistic people face great challenges as children, things become even harder once they reach adulthood. Suddenly, society expects you to be “an adult” and behave and function as such. It is such a shame that exactly at the point in their lives when they need it the most, the support they receive from organizations and resources often stops. Because I was diagnosed at 21, I never received any support as a child. After I received my diagnosis, my mother tried to find all kinds of resources, but she soon realized that I was too old for much of anything.”

“Procession by Stewart Stafford

Stop me carrying the burden alone,
For I cannot bear the crushing weight,
Put your arm around me as I reciprocate,
Together, we will walk the needed steps.

If our shoulders shudder, we will steady,
You will help me as I will help you,
Together, as one, we shall go forward,
One foot in front of the other.

When the strain grows too great,
We will lay our mighty cross down,
An altar coffin, and genuflecting,
Rejoin the mourning congregation.
