That's not my interpretation. "Loco" was a playful pun on your "loci". I don't judge you unfair, just that your complaint seemed unrealistic. Most people cannot communicate as you do or really understand you without a good deal of effort. Whereas you can understand regular speech. Therefore, the onus is on you to communicate clearly, (in order to share your considerable gifts), rather than invent your own rules and demand that others understand them. (I accept that in the case of severe autists, this is not the case.)
"Route", "rote" or "routine"?
Why couldn't you explain that to him? You just explained it to me.
This reminds me of Chris Langan's story as relayed by Malcolm Gladwell's in Outliers..
Gladwell draws some interesting conclusions.
I don't know much about him either so I'm not in a position to take sides.
I just think it was patronising of the federal appeals court to suggest that his autism meant he was incapable of intent. And that it was ironic for you to suggest that he was framed on account of his disability, when, if anything, there was a suggestion that they would have been more lenient if it had been admissible.
If he wasn't involved in criminal damage, of course, it was unfair that he was imprisoned. But it's hardly the first miscarriage of justice in US history, and won't be the last. As you say, it's not really relevant.
I saw Ahtisaari in television, during the Namibia talks.
He said to the participants in the conflict: Your strength is weakness. Give up.
Namibia became independent.
The Strength of Israel: Lobby in Washington. Obstacle to peace.
Incapability of intent is a blessing.
Rote is route. Therefore routine.
A road. Something known.
Rote learning is to learn by repetition.
Einstein said in an interview he could not cram to exams.
He had to go behind the rule to understand. It made him slow.
Gladwell said Einstein had an IQ of 150. It is not possible.
To have an IQ of 150 you have to go by rote.
Autists do not drive on the wrong side of the road. Patronising thinking.
