Beyond “Learning Disabled”: An Autistic Genius Draws Rome at a Glance

And I have known the eyes already, known them all—
The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,

When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
Then how should I begin
To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?

–from T.S. Eliot, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
