It surely sounds like E is trying to understand fully and his wonderfully sweet and encouraging comments to you are awesome. He sounds like a good man. I did have to laugh at alphabet soup!

I read your previous entry...This is so interesting. I read your previous entry (March 24) and I commented on your writing style, which I really like. The former English teacher in me can't help but pay attention to things like writing style, tone, etc. Then in reading this entry, you direct me back to your "orange swirl," entry in which you talk about your writing process in terms of ADD/ADHD. I had not started reading your journal at that time and missed that entry. What you describe as a writing style that is reflective of your ADD is exactly what I like about your writing style. (Hope that sentence makes sense.) Orange swirl is a good descriptor. I wish that I had met you when I was still in the classroom. I would have invited you to talk to my students about writing; you explain your style so well. <br><br>Your discussion on chaos theory as applied to Add/ADHD makes so much sense to me, especially your observation that what appears to be chaotic may not be as random as it appears to be.<br><br>I don't know if I've ever told you, but my nephew, now age 21, has Apsergers Syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder. The book that E recommended by Haddon is one of my favorites and my nephew's as well. I also think that you would like this book and I agree with E that minds work in wondrously different ways.<br><br>I've been focusing on how lucky you are to have found someone like E but it is E who is lucky to have found someone like you. You are one of the most interesting, thoughtful, and intellectually stimulating people that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.--SheriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792762396054034888.post-13632944735973473842008-03-31T15:06:00.000-07:002008-03-31T15:06:00.000-07:00Just have to add how honored and flattered I am by...Just have to add how honored and flattered I am by Sheria's comment! Yes, E is a lovely man, and we're both lucky, really. Hmmm, my writing style deciphered, clarified. Controlled orange swirl stream of consciousness. Youv'e made my day, Sheria! -- RobinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
