Hi all,


Original message:
Let me add to this with another example I just thought of. Not only are selective hearing and selective seeing necessary, but I suppose selectivity among all of your senses is necessary, including selective touch. Imagine yourself reading a Braille book and the feel of your clothing on your body struck you as just as important as the Braille dots. Would you be able to read your Braille book? Probably not.

Roger, this is one of the best descriptions of autism I've heard in a while. That's what autism is, the inability to hear or see or feel selectively.

Ann P.
