Autism & Writing: How Poetry Helps Me Communicate
Autism self-advocate Lisa Smith shares how she found her voice through writing poetry
My name is Lisa Smith. I have autism and other diagnoses too. I love to laugh and make others laugh too. Life can be hard and my thinking is. If I can impact you and make a difference, I will and chin up, it will be okay. I am an introvert and have a serious yet funny outlook BUT I love people and to make a difference in someone's life is what my heart desires. I have this motto and it is where there is a will there's a way if you dare to dream try. I love to write and write before I can speak. I think I had language before language found me. I love words and life but I love God the most and I also have a different way of looking at things but to me if everyone was the same, it would be a boring world to be. I am me and the me you see is the me that I am.
