Hello Beth,

It's okay. Thanks for asking. Try this website: http://www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger/ ..... It may help you understand Autism Spectrum Disorders more.

Autism is mainly a neurological disorder which affects individuals emotionally, socially, behaviorally, and communication wise. People with Autism can range with abilities. Many Autistic individuals have many talents. Some are good at math, reading, astronomy, dates, computers, and so forth. Einstein and Bill Gates are thought to be Autistic; atleast, higher-functioning Autism.

Many people with Autism; especially, higher-functioning individuals appear normal within their daily lives. Some regress though before the age of 5, losing some or all communication skills, and some have to have therapies such as ST; Speech Therapy, OT; Occupational Therapy, and PT; Physical Therapy.

If you have any specific questions, I will be more than happy to answer them. You can email me anytime at Luvs2Write16@aol.com. Thanks.

Oh right. I heard about it in a movie called The Rainman, but I thought it was something invented.
A great film by the way...and so sorry, but I haven't heard of any poems based on it.
