Lately, I have been particularly struck by the writings of those who are autistic. They may have great difficulty being understood in the every-day world among their family, acquaintances, and fellow students or coworkers, but many seem to have little difficulty recording their emotions in text. In this medium, they share brilliantly the pain of their isolation among fellow beings that do not and likely never will understand them. They reveal their suffering in words that cannot be ignored. These are intelligent people whose very human writings often shine with emotion and understanding.
