“I feel like a boy in outer space
I touch the stars and feel out of place
Or I say I feel like a castaway
I dream of a day that’s okay”

When Benjamin’s father Sonny read the poem, he was moved deeply. Obviously you can see why. “We were both so proud, and yet so heartbroken, that this was how he felt." Sonny shared it on social media where it went viral. The National Autism Association has also highlighted the autistic boy’s poem an honest revelation of how an autistic child really feels.
