David Christopher Miedzianik (/ˈmɛdʒənɪk/,^[1] /mɪˈdʒæn-/,^[2] born 24 July 1956^[3]) is an English autistic poet and writer. His writings portray the more difficult aspects of autism. Additionally, most of his poems focus on social difficulties that he experiences.^[4] He is unemployed, but writes about how he wants to work and find love. Miedzianik writes about specific examples pertaining to those desires. Miedzianik's works have been extensively analyzed by noted autism researchers, who describe his writing as thoughtful, sophisticated, and displaying an unusually strong awareness of his social difficulties.^[5]^[6]^[7]
