“That was when my husband and I realized that we were facing an ideological rigidity that was unable to adapt to the real needs of our child.”
Ido Kedar, Ido in Autismland: Climbing Out of Autism's Silent Prison

Edgar Allan Poe
“And I lie so composedly, Now in my bed (Knowing her love) That you fancy me dead— And I rest so contentedly, Now in my bed, (With her love at my breast) That you fancy me dead— That you shudder to look at me. Thinking me dead. But my heart it is brighter Than all of the many Stars in the sky, For it sparkles with Annie— It glows with the light Of the love of my Annie— With the thought of the light Of the eyes of my Annie.”
Edgar Allan Poe, Edgar Allan Poe's Complete Poetical Works

“No amount of yelling at me will have an impact because the urge is without thought. If I think first, just for a moment, I might be able to resist. I find it hard to think first if what I desire is attractive to me.”
Ido Kedar, Ido in Autismland: Climbing Out of Autism's Silent Prison

“Apparently it is okay to drill normalcy into someone, but it is denial to believe that a normal boy lives trapped behind a wildly uncooperative body. These theories cost us dearly.”
Ido Kedar, Ido in Autismland: Climbing Out of Autism's Silent Prison

“It’s a big leap to throw a basketball into a basket if I struggle to feel my arms’ positions, so I miss over and over. The expert tells my aide that I’m lazy and I feel so mad. He really has no clue.”
Ido Kedar, Ido in Autismland: Climbing Out of Autism's Silent Prison
