i've been lucky to talk to and learn from autistic folks who use assistive communications devices.

i have a deranged relationship with my own body and am so aware of how lucky i am that i communicated in a way ppl understood and was listened to when i was a child.
To the Editor: I am one of these so-called profoundly autistic people this article describes. I cannot utter meaningful speech, and as a result, I was branded for years as someone with an intellectual disability and an I.Q. of 40. All this time, however, I understood everything that was going on around me. I just could not show it to others because of my deranged relationship with my own body. I am concerned about the creation of a separate category, called profound autism, for those of us with the most severe disabilities. There are real differences between the sort of autism that I have and so-called Asperger's syndrome. But it does not help us at all to impose a hierarchy of lower and higher functioning. We need to figure out how to tap into the skills and insights of those of us who cannot talk, who make up anywhere from 25 percent to 40 percent of the autistic community, depending on the estimate. For me, the way out of this dilemma was learning to communicate by typing. I suddenly went from being seen as intellectually impaired to taking college classes. I was never low-functioning, and neither are my autistic brothers and sisters without the ability to speak. I was just misjudged and ignored, and I fear that my fate will be the fate of many others termed low functioning in this new schema. Jason Jacoby Lee New York

iris, by henriette-julie murat (b. 1668), translated by jane harrington, from women of the fairy tale resistance.
* IRIS Two young lovers, their wishes filled, Tasted the sweetness of a charming mystery. They took great care to please each other, Saw such beautiful fires growing in the sky. What more is needed to be happy? But alas, unfortunately for them, Young Iris had a mother to tear her from ber desire. What a trying fate to have no lasting pleasure! All that love can do to despair In these tender lovers was vividly seen. To bear such misfortune Iris went every day to a solitary wood, Dealing with the pressing pain We suffer when we lose what we love. There are no torments that cost so many tears. One day after singing her desperate sadness To the trees, the streams, the echoes around, She saw on a branch two sparrows, A hundred times happier than she, Who freely followed the transports of love. "Little birds," she said, "flee! Your ardor would soon be disturbed If by misfortune my mother were to see You are in love, passionate and faithful. Alas! She would send one of you far away."
