WE'LL GET BY
By: Johnny Orr written August 2013
Maybe I don't speak too well, but I'm coming outta my shell
And I like playing by myself if you can't tell
I like to go to school, yeah I'm a miracle, and I'm glad to be alive
If you'll wait patiently, well then eventually,
I will understand the words that you're saying to me
My autism, is like a prison, that I'm in
I share my heart but only in my mind,
I share my pain when I scream at night
I can't express to you, what I'm going through,
The only way is for me to cry
Mom I see your fear, through every single tear
Just to know I've caused you pain from inside of here
My autism, is like a prison, that I'm in
I share your joy but only in my mind
You show me love but just not in my time
Cause my reality, takes everything in me
To make it through without a fight
I know you love me, when you hug me,
And when I hear you pray to God for Him to heal me
Maybe one day, you won't have to pray
And I won't have to see you cry
(reprise)
Maybe one day, I won't be this way,
Until then we'll get by

Thank you for writing the song and I know it will touch many but parents need to understand there is no healing or cure for autism. That there will be growth and progress, yes, but that is who they are. We must embrace our children and let them know it's okay to be that way. It is a prison and society constantly is telling them they are wrong and we need to "cure" this "disease". My daughter, 9, is autistic and I went through the fear and the tears, but that's what the doctors made me feel. They told me the negative, society only showed the negative, not the wonders. Not the laughs, the love, the knowledge this child would possess. Our children hear this negative view all the time and it hurts their spirit. Protect them, be strong, and love them with all you got. They are fine the way they were made and the more you acknowledge that to them they will be more happy, productive and feel safe. I hope to not offend anyone, but I want people to be strong and just love. Don't live in fear and sadness. Celebrate the growths and their lives everyday.

@johnnyorrmusic 9 жыл бұрын

I understand completely. The healing is "The progress" that they make. Things do change as they get older and begin to communicate. That in turn actually brings healing to them and the families that struggle with it. Thank you so much for sharing.

I have aspergers which is high functioning autism, I got diagnosed at age 10 and I've had many people ask me why I don't just get cured and I sometimes wish there was a cure but I know that I can't get rid of it so for the past few years I've been working with my friends and teacher to cope with it. My parents are really supportive and treat me the same as my siblings (who don't have autism) My dad even helped me on a train where I was close to having a meltdown and a nice lady who was near me also helped once my dad let her know what was going on. I don't know who this woman is but I am grateful that she was there that day

My Autistic brother enjoys this song dearly, though he got mad when he heard the phrase "Autism is a Prison" Autism is not a prison, but in fact an amazing safe space full of wonder and excitement that stimulate the young mind of our protagonist. Yellow cards are his favorite, he makes a high pitched styled stim noise that can be described as the sound of the American "A" sound, "no accent mark included" it's so cute and awesome when we play Uno, when he sees a yellow card this particular stim activates like a Transformer specifically Optumus Prime, which is a sign of being straight to me.

Not everyone with ASD is capable of learning ASL. My son can't we have tried. He's learning to use and IPAD but he still doesn't know how to use to tell us how he's feeling or if he's hurting or been hurt or if he's sick etc. He just turned 7 and has been using an iPad for just over a year. Communication is extremely hard for him and seeing how frustrated, angry, sad, and vulnerable he gets when we can't figure out what he's trying to communicate. I absolutely 100% feel like that would feel like a prison while going through it. That's not to say it'll always be that way. But for now I can definitely imagine he feels very trapped inside his mind.

This song is touching to some but a developmental disorder to others. My nephew had autism since birth and every second I spend with him is enjoyable. I do NOT claim to know the meaning of autism or it's disorders but I am willing to learn by research than stereotype or be negative. Every lyric rang true in this song on Joey's behalf, what a "miracle". He also shares his unconditional love with arms wide open every day with a simple smile, my hero. Uncle Ronnie's love for his little buddy will never fade away but grow more stronger every day.

My goal in life is to reach out to hurting teens, "normal" or not, and spread a message of love and acceptance. I believe that being different isn't a curse, but a fact. The idea of normality is just an illusion. It's inspiring to listen to songs this. So thank you for sharing this beautiful song!!

I couldn't help crying. This really fit the disorder. I've got autism myself, high functioning autism in fact and this is my favourite song of autism cause it's really true. It's really a prison to be locked inside oneself and can't get anyone to understand. I can only speak for myself since I know autistic kids and adults do feel different about the disorder, but I believe god had something to do with it, not in a bad way however, since he gave me the strength so see and notice things so many others doesn't. Even when it's taugh not being able to make myself clear through words and stuff, always make people misunderstand me or whatever, I still think it's a way of protecting oneself and god gave us that gift. I love this song, because it says the truth. Thank you for writing and sharing it!

I love that you are able to capture it in such a beautiful way and so honored that you researched Autism before writing it so you knew what it all was about and did not just go by stereotypes like some people in society do. I hear so often "He don't look autistic" or "can you get him to talk" it is hard some times and nice to know people out there still take the time to learn about something before talking or singing in this case. I love the song so much I went and bought it on iTunes God Bless You!!

As the parent of a child on the spectrum, I had a little difficulty with the prison analogy, but in a way it makes sense. It is and can be a struggle from both the child and parent perspective. However, my child is not broken, he does not need healing, he needs understanding and patience. I think you captured the love between parent and child quite well and I thank you for that. He is who he is and I love him with my whole heart.

The love in these children and their willingness to please others is amazing! And, yes, it is sometimes difficult to understand that (for instance) - the reason he is pinching me is because he is SO VERY excited to see me and he doesn't want me to leave. In reality, how precious is the thought?! It doesn't perhaps coincide with the action in our minds, but it did in his! Understanding, patience and redirection... and LOTS of love and ((HUGS))! THAT is what these children need and deserve! Thank you, JRB for bringing this to light!!!

I was humming a turn in my head when I remembered this song and started breaking down crying remembering this song. I got diagnosed with autism at a very young age (7) and didn't understand what was so different about me. I got bullied for it when I didn't understand what it was like to be autistic. Why I was in these special classes, why I had weekly social worker meetings, but after one of my science teachers did a lesson on autism, I understood. Than the media likes to contradict on what causes autism. Now here we are in 2021, post covid for some of us and I'm getting ready to celebrate my 1 year anniversary of my heart surgery and I feel like this song spoke to me with that. I'm gonna be 28 years old, over 2 decades of the autism diagnosis and one year post arterial septal defect. This is one song that speaks volumes beyond the target audience

I just want to say how great I find this song. My son is 6.5 years old and has Classic/Severe Low-functioning Autism. He is nonverbal. This song fits him to a T. And I wish more people would understand that this type of song is not saying that all people with ASD are "broken". More light needs to be shed on the fact that for some people, like my son, Autism is a nightmare and not just a personality trait. I can't count how many times I've told someone my son is autistic and they say "oh I know _____ who's autistic. you know they're really geniuses" and then they meet my son and they're like "oh....*awkward silence*". It breaks my heart to see my son struggle with so much. He has numerous meltdowns everyday and after he calms down, he comes to me and cries his heart out while looking at me and his eyes are so sad as if to say "why is this happening to me?" Anyway, thank you for this song. It's like I can hear my son through your lyrics. I love it.

I'm with @Just Crazy Us... there is no cure for autism. It is a way of life for some people. Yes it means they are a little different but it is not life threatening. My 28 year old sister is autistic and went against all odd our senior year of high school to become the first autistic homecoming queen in the nation. She never played dolls with my younger sister and I, she never made mud pies or enjoyed going to the movies on dates as a teenager, but she is one of the coolest people to be around. She has won many medals in Special Olympics and has made her own way in life. She is my hero. I would not trade her for the world.

I have twin nephews who show signs of autism (although they have not been officially diagnosed, their neurologist say they show signs of Autism), I sent their mom, my sis-in-law, this song and she sent me a message saying how she listened to this while she was at work and couldn't hold back her tears because this song speaks in volumes! She is very very thankful as am I for something so beautifully written and for something that just gives anyone who is in the same situation HOPE that loving someone who is in the spectrum doesn't mean that it's all bad. Anyone in the spectrum may be different but they are NOT less than others. Until then, we'll get by.

It is so difficult, but I wouldn't have it any other way because I love him so much. I look after him every night and my school teachers get really mad when I don't do my homework because I don't get the time. They just don't understand how busy I am. People really need to cut the relatives of kids with autism (and kids with autism) some slack. We are finding it hard enough as it is give us a break.

To not be understod at all, or put under the same expectation as a normal person, it's not easy. And They know this facts. But the family as hole is also in this prinoner, putting there by the people outside.
