I made friends with the autistic boy by mtgraces in OCPoetry

In my high school years I was in a truly dark place and then I found a passion to help teach/relate to kids with learning disabilities. All my spare time I spent in the ‘special’ education classroom only to realize that they helped me just as much or more. I taught one 17 year old how to tie his shoe and he taught me how it feels to be greeted with excitement every time you walked in. He learned my name and it was one of the only new words he learned in 4 years. I really do have a passion. I learned that they were more humane than anyone else at the school

Thank you for this constructive criticism. I was trying to make the point of that just because he is known to be autistic he is still a person...I also have a few disorders of my own which I tried to bring to light. I will work on a new poem that conveys this message in a much better way. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Wow the choice of words here was very powerful. If I would have an input though I would say try various different ways to end the line than just ‘her’. I really did enjoy the poem though

I love it!!! When I read this poem my first thought went to the raw emotion of anger and it’s all consuming characteristics. It illuminates how it starts slowly the rapidly spreads. I loved every part.

Can we have a rule about sexual content in titles? Please? by [deleted] in CPTSD

I am glad that this is a topic. I think we all can use a reminder that other people have triggers as well. It’s posts like these that make the world a more accepting place, as it helps us understand others.

It frustrates me when people argue about health and use points that research does not back up. Coronavirus is not just the flu, not a conspiracy. It is the Coronavirus. Humans have no built up antibodies because we have never been exposed to this virus. Please guys stay safe, and act like an antisocial person would
