Teenage Angst
I can't...can't..
I can't'...
I don't stutter, normally
I can't look people in the eye
Sure, I can look you in the eye...
You are just a mirror
I can look in my eyes and know what Im feeling
Because I'm feeling them
But to just look I wouldn't know
I try to remember smiles mean happy and frowns mean saddness
But people hide their emotions.
And I can't look in peoples eyes.
I can't hear it in their voices.
People tell me all I do is nod.
People say a lot of things about me...
It's all true, I'm a head case.
I'd laugh it off but I don't know when to laugh.
You have to know when to laugh.
Let's practice you say something like weird, oddball or worse
And laugh like it's a joke.
I know it's not a joke.
And I'll laugh like it is a joke and say " It's just the autism talking!"
HA! HA ! HA!
Okay good
Let' s try it again

pick a voice and start talkin', one voice, almost as if you're writing dialogue for a screenplay, no rules really, doesn't have to be in any dialect, although it's always nice if somehow gives wind to some kind of story - Just imagine someone in a situation and write down what they're sayin'. 20 PARTICIPANTS IN THIS EXERCISE
