Trying to Save the World

Just in case you are not aware, you will not be able to ask a person with autism "how are you feeling today? Are you feeling any different than last week? Have you noticed a change in your mood since we started the new medication? Do you have any complaints?" and expect them to answer you.

Just so you understand, when you ask me to 'do you a favor' and find these answers for you, I can't. The person with autism does not understand you asking him about his mood just as much as you don't understand him.

If only all doctors understood patients with autism like I do. But sadly they don't. And of course their answer is to shove more drugs down their throat. *sigh*

And it breaks my heart. Because this person with autism melts my heart, and no one else understands him.
