It turns out when you give the correct tools of expression to people affected by autism, they have loads to say. The problem is not that they can't feel anything but rather that they can't express it in ways we understand. For example, they often can't tell where their bodies limits. They don't know if they are sitting or standing - they cannot move if you say "Come" but will stand up and walk to you if you phrase it this way. This week's Time magazine's cover story explores the brains of those affected and methods to work with autistics.

I like your 100 words practice! I didn't realize you were doing it until I saw DAILY posts (that were all of similar lengths).
Seems like a great way to focus in and reflect on one little (or big) thought/aspect of your day.
How are you coming up with/deciding on topics? Strategy, or free flow?
Hey Heather,
it's freeflow. No strategy. If I have two ideas, I save one for a "dry" day. That's as sophisticated as I get. Surprisingly, I only ot 2 semi-dry days up until now. And counting...
