It certainly has a disjointed/detached feel about it Dave. The clipped sentences and staccato phrases add to the jagged form. I only have a little experience of autism/OCD/Aspergers, but from what I know it seems to mimic fairly accurately how confusing it must be to suffer from these conditions. Having said that, apparently we are ALL on the Autistic Spectrum somewhere - it's simply a question of degree.

Regards,

A.E.

Until I read your comment Dave, I was thinking this could apply to me, or you. I definitely inhabit these feelings. The syntax is excellent - really gets the feelings/emotions/reactions across. And that ending - aye, know that well.

I think you've encapsulated the chaos perfectly Dave.
Just reading this makes one anxious.

Well done,

This is an attempt to visit the outlook and experience of those labeled autistic, with whom I worked for a while many years ago. I would be interested to hear from those who know more how successful the attempt is.
