Loop Poem by Brynn F.

 I have always struggled with purposeful movement in my life. Recently I learned that nerve impulses in autistics stay in the cerebellum, loop around, and never reach the frontal lobe to make intentional movement possible. The cold hard truth is the majority of people believe this also means I have no intelligence. Getting past the loops is the hardest thing I've ever done. Convincing others I am not stupid is the second hardest.

  1. Know that I think you are super smart and I know what an out of control body is like. It is a prison to live in but we are getting better. think of how far you have progressed in such great years. Look at the great friends you have found.

  2. Bodies are so complicated, the effort to understand them even more so. I appreciate how you shared what that's like for you.
