Larry, this is sheer poetry. You do have a way with words, you should flaunt
them more often. No wonder they try to keep autistic people out of the
mainstream :)

Well I am what I am, and will be what I am, and no-one is going to change
that. I can't say I have had a happy life, but it has been a life, When I am
celebrating autism, I am celebrating diversity, in fact I am celebrating
humanity.
From the isololation of my square towere, the world at night shines with the
lights of the city and accross to the country of my memory. I don't need
company to enjoy that. Autism is awful that is to say I am in full of awe of
all that the world shows me.
