A response to a dickhead who told me not to “weaponise” autism.
You weaponised it.
You did that at school, when you laughed at the Spaccer, the retard, the spastic.
You did that when you knocked 2 teeth out of me.
You did that every time you took the piss out of me

You did it when you de-kegged me, and took the piss out of my appearance.
You did it through isolating me.
I will never forgive you for weaponising my autism.

You weaponised my autism by leaving me alone through the hardest parts of my teenage years.
You did it through beating the living crap out of me again and again.
You did it through making dammed sure I had no support.
You did it through trying to drown me at swimming lessons

You did it through socially excluding me from everything around me.
You left me to have the only friends I could have as a kid: books.
Now, I’m a writer in Scotland, and you’re a troll on the internet.
Fuck you,
