Plot/story elements: Did I feel attached to the story or poem? My eight year old is autistic but I don't even see him that way. He's been talking about dimensional travel since he was four. He's been afraid of fans and doors since he was old enough to talk and he scores in the 98th percentile of spatial reasoning and algebraic understandings and patterns. I don't feel comfortable comparing him to Einstein but he is special. I shed a tear reading this because I think he thinks like you and I am struggling to learn as much as I can so I can encourage his creative thinking. He scares me not because of his giftedness or label as autistic. He scares me because I don't think the world is ready for him and I'm afraid the world will judge him. It's late, and I'm putting my biggest insecurities into a review but this, your work touches me on such a level, I can't really articulate it. I know this review has to be public, and I don't care. When scientists finally let go of empirical thinking long enough to allow for magic it will be someone like my son who finds it. I can't in good conscience treat him like his autism is a deficit when in fact it's gift. Would I recommend this piece of writing to someone else? Yes. From the bottom of my heart, yes. Was there a clear purpose to it? I'm not sure I can fully understand it yet, but I know someone who can. Glows: Please continue to write your ideas. People will want to learn them. Grows: I need to make strides to understand chaos theory better. I have been told that's what my son inherently understands as he can draw the dimensions and link them. A family friend and NASA rocket scientist told me that so I don't feel like its nonsense.
