The air feels light in my bedroom tonight
No ‘therapists’ to be seen
My Kingdom of Isolation
Just how I need it to be

My body’s raging like the vortex deep inside
Just can’t help myself, heaven knows I tried!

“Have quiet hands, table ready”
“Touch nose, all done” “Make sure to look at me”
“Conceal, don't feel, don't let it show”
I’m gonna blow!

Let it go, let it go
Shan’t hold it in anymore
Let it go, let it go
Accept me or out the door!
This is how I am, I was born this way
Let the man stim on
Autism bothers only you anyway!

It's funny how a meltdown
Makes reinforcers small
And those who want to dog-train me
Can't be obeyed at all!

It's time to prove what I can do
Despite the barriers made by you
Your quest for ‘cure’ causing PTSD!

Let it go, let it go
I take flight underneath the sky
Let it go, let it go
I’m not ‘socially shy’!
My body ‘talks’
How’s that not okay?
Let the man stim on!

My hand is flapping through the air without a sound
I walk in circles, see the world go turning round and round
And one thought crystallizes like a mighty blast
Why couldn’t ABA
Have remained in the past!

Let it go, let it go
I won’t rise at the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That little boy is gone!
I’m telling you
In my unique way
Let the man stim on
Autism bothers only you anyway!
