Not autistic, just different

This is howI feel...

You labeled me as autistic
I arrived to the evaluation

Not knowing
What has got me there

Confused
As to why I'm there

They examined me
I felt bizzare

"This is not the right place for me",
I thought,

"I entered the wrong door".
3 people have decided:

"You're autistic."
I'm autistic.

I'm... autistic?
I don't have a problem with autistics,

Just feel like there's been made
a mistake,

That they mislabeled me;
My intuition told me:

"No; you're not autistic."
I feel off whenever I'm with neurodivergent people;

They're beautiful
But I'm not one of them.

That must be a mistake;
A mistake...
