cata-wha?
An autistic person’s explanation of her experience with language:
“This is not a look-at-the-autie gawking freakshow as much as it is a statement about what gets considered thought, intelligence, personhood, language, and communication, and what does not.”
Profound. Fascinating.
Stay with it. It’s worth it.
