Well I suppose there is some truth in the proposition that Asperger's Syndrome
is associated with the arts. I have a number of acquaintances who, like me,
have Asperger's, (I should explain that we do not suffer with anything, but our
families tend to suffer with our AS), and who write poetry. As for it
becoming a "humorous polemic" well that jolts a little. Perhaps you could
focus a polemic on "crips", if perhaps you had a limp once.
