The Egg.. How I sometimes perceive my autistic son experiences life.

There is a storybook that describes autism as being in a translucent egg. You can view and hear the world outside, a different experience, a maybe muted one in one's non autistic point of you. Sometimes the Egg cracks, and people can see, hear and understand you and that is another experience. Other times you stay inside, collect yourself and learn to thrive in your individuality.
