About Autism After Dark
Why I Write
I feel uniquely qualified to be the village idiot— or shaman, depending on your perspective. I think I’m a teacher, in a very Socratic sense. You learn from watching me, not necessarily from listening to me.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the “self-righteous” label, which my writing has gotten before and will no doubt receive again.
I think what people perceive as self-righteousness is just me creating my own social language. I don’t care if anybody listens— I’m autistic.
