I think you might be right. None of us can ever understand fully what it means to be anyone but ourselves.

But I take profound exception to the politically incorrect thing. I am not looking for votes. I'm looking for help in understanding. I'm making an effort to get it right.

There may be no way I can write from the point of view of an autistic. But I can try.

Colleen McCullough wrote about Julius Caesar, from his point of view. Despite the fact that he slaughtered thousands of Gauls, I still wound up liking the guy. Go figure. I came to a better understanding of him as a human being, and the in which he lived. Colleen McCullough had done her homework. That's all I'm trying to do. I may not be a great writer. But I can try to be a good one.

A good writer is honest. Whatever she writes, it had better be honest. Otherwise it's tripe. There's no point in it, much less profit. And that's all I'm trying to do here - be honest. Whether I try to write the story from Ivor's point of view or not, I'm going to try to get it right. I'm going for honesty.

For the record: The label of Politically Incorrect is just some weak ***. I can't abide it. It's name calling, and obfuscating. Leave off the "politically" and I'm fine. Just "incorrect", "not accurate", "does not serve"... Fine. I can take that gracefully. But Politically Incorrect? Not for one second will I stand for it. That's just some Stalinistic chickenshit.

I think it is plain from my posts that I don't like labels or judgements. I grew up with Jim Crow. I've seen some Politically Incorrect stuff. I've experienced some of it because of my life path. What's Politically Incorrect is blaming folks who don't have wheels for not getting out of the way of the flood. And then patting yourself on the back for the way you handled the hurricane. That's Politically Incorrect.

And you don't even log onto the board with a name. You just come out of left field with no name, and label me. Bite me. You hear? Just bite me.
