In a world of noise, I find my silence,
A different rhythm, a unique cadence.
Autistic and powerful, "a paradox" they say,
But they don't see the strength in my way.
My mind, a tapestry of patterns and light,
Weaves solutions others can't see in plain sight.
In boardrooms I stand, my presence untamed,
A leader, a woman, unashamed.
They expect small talk, but my words are precise,
Each syllable measured, each thought like ice.
My gaze may not meet, but my vision's clear,
Seeing paths and connections others don't hold dear.
Sensory overload, a daily fight,
But it's made me resilient, taught me my might.
The fluorescent lights buzz, the fabric itches my skin,
Yet I push through it all, determined to win.
They mistake my bluntness for lack of empathy,
Not knowing I feel every emotion intensely.
A leader who listens beyond just words,
Hearing the unspoken, the whispers unheard.
In a world not built for minds like mine,
I've learned to adapt, to redefine.
Autism isn't my weakness, it's my strength,
Giving me focus, determination at length.
A woman in power, on the spectrum's dance,
Breaking barriers, taking my stance.
My differences fuel me, set me apart,
Leadership flowing from my divergent heart.
So judge me not by neurotypical measure,
My autistic traits are gifts to treasure.
A leader, a woman, on my own terms,
Blazing trails where others squirm.
In the spectrum of humanity, I shine bright,
A beacon for those who see the world in different light.
Powerful, female, autistic and proud,
My voice may be quiet, but my impact is loud.
