Your post is beautifully written. I gu...Hello Bev.<br /><br />Your post is beautifully written. I guess that could be the upside of having written English as first language! <br /><br />I love the control tower metaphor.<br /><br />Do you write fiction?* <br /><br />Writing is my first language too, however not in English. <br /><br />I recognise the 'muteness' issue from when I was young and hardly ever spoke. I simply did not have anything to say to others, and when I did say something they would generally not understand what I meant. So why talk?<br /><br />I find that talking can be very meaningful now. I guess that it ultimately comes down the quality of one's relationships. Since I did not have any relationships in my youth, communication was always superficial, chatty and not meaningful, because it was always with strangers who didn't really care, grasp what I meant or know me as a whole person. So... why talk.<br /><br />I still think that random chit-chat is heavily overrated and typically annoying, and silence is unfairly judged as 'nothingness' while it is in fact an important and meaningful part of communication. <br /><br />In a piece of music, you don't just play all the tones at once, that would just be a noise. Silence is the factor that allows the brain to perceive, absorb and process the pattern of the music, so you can find it beautiful. Same with conversations... No silence = just verbal clutter.<br /><br /><br />*If you reply I won't see it for some time, because my comment tracking software can't follow the blogspot platform.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794893825407092443.post-7027612128995798992011-09-30T11:27:42.024-04:002011-09-30T11:27:42.024-04:00Those circles would be happier if they remembered ...Those circles would be happier if they remembered themselves and asked for the space and time needed to be who they are. This would rock their boats, and that's scary, so they don't. They happen to be able to move through the world without notice much of the time, but that doesn't mean there aren't things about them that others would label in an unloving way or in a way that sent the message that they and/or their behavior/personality/whatever was unacceptable. I am really a square who has managed to make herself small enough to fit inside a circle. Maybe we all are. I am working on not doing that anymore.<br /><br />In gratitude for beautiful writing and honesty -<br /><br />JenniferJennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794893825407092443.post-68452327659642087782011-03-26T03:12:33.292-04:002011-03-26T03:12:33.292-04:00Well this is my first time in three years of posti...Well this is my first time in three years of posting this site and alwys leave a Anonymous comment but I will realveled by may name. My mane is Meg and this is my list time posting my comments in this site. I am moving on because I want nothing to do with the Autistic/Auitsm community because it is so bad and it is wearing me down. Also the ND and the Curebies communities are also wearing me down by fighting like cats and dogs and I also don’t want to spned my time and engery watching and reading their augurments and nether one of them have interest of helping with people on the autism spectrum but fighting and they don’t care. I don’t wont to be a part of any both sides whatsoever. I am autistic and my life in not all about autism because there are more life is more focus than autism.

On or off the spectrum, we need to be exchanging ideas with each other, in order to learn how to share this society, instead of the majority defining a normal, and penalizing anyone who doesn't fit it.
