As with the narrator of my poem for the Insanity contest, the person with autism is at least partially locked within a mind which is hindered in its ability to communicate. It is so difficult because often the autistic person's frustration just oozes out of them as they struggle to express themselves. That, at least, is my experience with people, mostly children, whom I know to be autistic. It makes me ache for them and for their parents. I like both your poem and your painting, very expressive.

This is really emotional. I am sorry to know about your daughter but I must commend you effort here. Again, I think it's brilliant.
Well done.

Very nice work on this--thought provoking and in line with the form. Thank you for describing the form in the note--it was new to me. I wasn't sure I liked the closing line being a question, but it had a good effect.Nice work on this poem.
Take care, and keep writing. Scribe

Again, nice writing. It seems like a real challenge to write Haiku and Tetractys. The artwork is gorgeous, and the title is so very appropriate. Really, really good.

My first attempt at a tetractys....a new-found expression for me - and an excellent attempt it is! You have certainly captured the dilemma of understanding but being unable to comprehend this mysterious affliction. Accomplished writing, well done! Tom

Awesome artwork highly enhances the impact of this work, which is a finey composed form with quality message. I find no nits. Good color choice to offset art. Impressive and well done. Good luck.
All the best, rama devi

Comment from KYPollard/El Gato
Wonderful, simply wonderful. So much meaning in every word. For me, the second word added to the first and the third to the second, and the forth to the third. And the first four complemented the question at the end. I hope you can understand what I am trying to say as I feel it better than I can explain it.

That's very well stated. You put the reader into her world with you. Nicely done. I've only ever tried a couple of these but you did a great job with a short space.

"An Enigma" is an appropriate title for Autism. Well written, cannot even begin to imagine what it would be like to be a child locked within.

Misunderstood
How can we comprehend her different world?
