A different operating system
A poem about my autistic spectrum disorder
My iOS
is analytical
my circular thinking sometimes is an ellipses
my blacklight is the moon
I sometimes feel a sense of doom
pessimistic gloom
whether I am apple, android or Linux driving this computers machine
I laugh until I scream
My search bar is Firefox
not Google
It’s has an interesting internet history
why is a mystery!
special interests
religion
Science
and philosophy
A cacophony of voices
and anxiety about choices
My App Store has flaws
is yet to be developed
my operating system
has ghost code
I sometimes have to try to avoid goblin mode
I find social stuff hard
Autism spectrum disorder
It’s hard to understand
even with AI
I know I am wired differently
I just don’t know why?

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Creative work Daniel. I like the rawness here! Celebrate your differences! 70 percent of the population are a bore anyhow. 😆 I don’t claim to have any answers and I don’t think I’m on the spectrum..more so chronic ocd ..and anxiety ..but socialising is hard work, agreed.. .. little steps.. that’s what I’m working on! Good luck!
I'm on the autism spectrum too and this was so relatable!
