“Think of it: a disability is usually defined in terms of what is missing. … But autism … is as much about what is abundant as what is missing, an over-expression of the very traits that make our species unique.”

“أن نقاوم ما أمكننا. ألا نسقط. أن نوصد كل الأبواب. أن نتصلب. أن نفرغ أذهاننا من الماضي. أن ننظفها. ألا نترك أثرا منه في الرأس. ألا ننظر إلى الوراء, و أن نتعلم ألا نتذكر. فكيف السبيل إلى ايقاف هذه الآلة؟ كيف ننتقي من علية طفولتنا, من دون أن نفقد الذاكرة تماما, ومن دون أن يصيبنا الجنون؟”

“I wish I wrote the way I thought
Obsessively
Incessantly
With maddening hunger
I’d write to the point of suffocation
I’d write myself into nervous breakdowns
Manuscripts spiralling out like tentacles into abysmal nothing
And I’d write about you
a lot more
than I should”
