“Sonnet on The Spectrum
(Diary of An Autistic Neuroscientist)

We, on the spectrum, are often
misconstrued as rude or audacious.
Problem is not that we feel too little,
but that we feel too crippling much.

Sensory overload is our biggest struggle,
an eternal battle against daily situations.
Storms that the normals experience only in
tragedy, are our life's everyday occurrence.

Sidelining the stormy torment of the spectrum,

I never could communicate with my parents,
and they never knew what my struggle was.

till we speak on a matter of interest.
Then we can jabber like any neurotypical,
bursting with joy in our nerves and veins.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

"If there is truth in these pages, you will recognise it. Not because I wrote it, but because some part of you already knows it.”
― Tanya Valentin, Tiny Anchors: Small Moments of Care For Parents Carrying More Than Most Can See
