    I hadn’t heard this one before – thanks for sharing!

    “The Poet” by Tom Wayman is something I have to look at more closely, but might be another way of approaching this issue:

    haha i can relate to these:

    “Cannot handle “yes-no” questions”

    “Has difficulty recalling what he ate for breakfast, etc.”

    I would however disagree with this because I am a visual learner/person:

    “Cannot tell a story from a picture
    Cannot recognize visual absurdities”

    Thank you for droping by! I hope things are well with you.
