Hi Warped Sanity Author Icon,

This review is a part of "Game of ThronesOpen in new Window. [13+]. *Smile*

Overall Impression:

This is an excellent poem, dear author! As someone who has high-functioning ASD, I was immediately drawn to it.

You express very well the challenges that people with Autism face in life. The lack of understanding, probably due to a fear of what is different. People with Autism can find it difficult to fit into whatever is considered the norm at a certain moment in time. That doesn't mean, as you describe here, that we're slow, or weird, or wouldn't like to have friends. It just means that our brains are wired in a slightly different way, meaning we function in a slightly different way - not better, or worse, just different. I am very glad to see that your son is doing so well. *Smile* He sounds like a great guy.

On the technical side of things, your poem reads well. I had no trouble picking up on its rhythm and flow. I like your use of punctuation, as it aids the overall clarity of the piece. It's an interesting form you have chosen as well. I think I'd like to explore it at some point.

Suggestions:

I have no suggestions about the content of the poem. It's well-written. My one suggestion would be to allow the capitalisation at the beginning of each line to depend upon the individual sentences within the piece. I think that this would perfect the overall clarity and reading experience.

My Rating:

I thought that this was an excellent poem. I was glad to read it.

I did have one suggestion, but I guess that it's more of a personal preference than anything else. So, I will still give this item the 5 out of 5 rating it deserves.

Thank you for sharing your work, and write on!

Kit
