In your own world,
smiling.
People look at you
very strange.
What goes on inside that head
which appears confused to us?
Perhaps it is we, the unusual
and you, correct.
Rational.
We can only gape in awe,
wondering how you cope.
You glance at us,
see madness,
frustrate at our disabilities.
What’s the matter with our world
that everything seems so weird?
There is nothing amiss.
You are a vinyl record
playing at the wrong speed.
Tracking needing adjustment
so we can understand a happy soul
content in his own universe.

Hi Nick,
It is always difficult to understand people who are different from us, but it can be rewarding if we try. I like that series Alphas on TV, one of the more interesting character is Gary who is autistic. I’m not sure if it’s an accurate betrayal or not but it helps us to think about it. I hope you’re OK. Hows the new job?
Not seen that show. I’m okay. Been a struggle and the writing’s suffered. Trying to get back on track but not pushing too hard. Job is good. Long hours, but then I get longer breaks as a result.
