Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 i dont have empathy for anyone. some compassion. you are saying that autistic people have to conform. ie they need to change. well, i think that people need to change too. and if some poetry is hard to understand, then accept that you dont understand that person's form of communication, and leave it, like you would leave it hopefully if someone communicated here in swahili. another person might get a lot out of it. you dont have to warn people off. they can make their own decisions. if they cannot, they are going to be in big trouble with all this stuff as there are many conflicting opinions. therefore, a person who is unable to make choices, probably should not consider chelation.

What did you find to be anti autism? Poetry can be wonderful but it does not express literal or technical information well. So, maybe autistic people may have difficulty engaging in some types of conversations. That is probably true. If people want or need to have technical conversations or debate specific points, how would you suggest doing that in a way that is " pro autism " ? Most people would not evaluate the results of chelation, nor learn how to chelate, based on poetic styles of expression. These are things that are discussed here. Another example would be that research is not presented in a poetic style. This does not mean that poetry has no value, but it does not work well for technical discussion or factual evaluation, or things or that type. If is to have his ideas understood he has to express them. It's true that this may be hard or even impossible for him to do, but I still think it is so. And I do not think poetry or complaining about it will do it. Feel free to feel empathy for me too, I also live in the same world, I have to articulate to respond and write this. My poetry IS prose, and I find it quite artistic. But that doesn't mean it is EASY or PAINLESS. Quite the contrary.
