It’s hard to read, so I didn’t finish it but it’s nice.
I can help out with that, @frodoismycat

A Prayer for a Non-Religious Autistic
By: Lucas Scheelk
–
May my special interests combat depressive episodes
May my stimming fingers repair what self-harm has taken away
May my clothing layers be my armor
May my toes be graceful, sturdy, and stealthy for travel
May my pocketed stim toys provide comfort in public
May my routines keep me safe
May my routines keep me safe
May my routines keep me safe
May my sensory weapons – be it music, be it noise-cancelling headphones, be it sunglasses, be it grounding smells – defeat the presence of crowds, defeat the sirens, defeat the sun, defeat dissociation
May my self-love flourish, no matter how small
May my reminders aide my memory
May my reminders aide my memory
May my reminders aide my memory
May my hyperfocus enhance my self-education
May my infodumps release overloading information – verbal or otherwise
May my heart shield when necessary
May my logic question and deduce
May my surroundings continuously rain when I am most in need
For I am worthy
For I am worthy
For I am worthy
May my repetition help me heal
May my repetition help me heal
May my repetition help me heal

@couragetobe – You can find my poem at QDA: A Queer Disability Anthology (I saw in your tags that you were wondering which book it came from)
