The autism spectrum

[Intro]
[Upbeat synth arpeggios building up, punchy electronic drum beat, sidechained pad, high-energy synth lead intro]

[Verse 1]
It’s true—sometimes it’s a real headache to hold back who you truly are, who you really are.

Because of the toxic society we live in, no one understands who we are or why we are born this way.

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey-hey-hey
Why do they always judge us for no reason at all?
Oh-oh-oh.
If you were in our shoes, you might not think the same way.

[Chorus]
Oh no-no-no
It is a specter that inflicts trauma upon us.
Oh no-no-no
It takes you to an imaginary world of unreal things.

It is a journey we call the onset of this incurable disease.

and we are like small children
Oh no-no-no
That's right, that's right, because we live with the autism spectrum.

the autism spectrum.

[Verse 2]
This disease or condition is very complex, the reason why we are rejected by others.

The difference is that they suffer and so do we—okay, but our suffering comes from not being able to be accepted by them.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey-hey-hey
Why do they always judge us for no reason at all?
Oh-oh-oh.
If you were in our shoes, you might not think the same way.

[Chorus]
Oh no-no-no
It is a specter that inflicts trauma upon us.
Oh no-no-no
It takes you to an imaginary world of unreal things.

It is a journey we call the onset of this incurable disease.

and we are like small children
Oh no-no-no
That's right, that's right, because we live with the autism spectrum.

the autism spectrum.

[Bridge]
[Music drops down to soft arpeggiated synth and bass pulse]
[Gated snare reverb, finger snaps, growing emotional vocals]
Oh no-no-no
It is a specter that inflicts trauma upon us.
Oh no-no-no
It takes you to an imaginary world of unreal things.

It is a journey we call the onset of this incurable disease.

and we are like small children
Oh no-no-no
That's right, that's right, because we live with the autism spectrum.

[Drums start building with heavy snare rolls and rising synth risers]
the autism spectrum.

[Chorus]
[Full energy explosion, big chorus, huge synth leads, pounding drums]
Oh no-no-no
It is a specter that inflicts trauma upon us.
Oh no-no-no
It takes you to an imaginary world of unreal things.

It is a journey we call the onset of this incurable disease.

and we are like small children
Oh no-no-no
That's right, that's right, because we live with the autism spectrum.

the autism spectrum.

[Outro]
[Bright synth lead plays the main melody, driving drums slowly fade out]
Why we are autistic.
