Donna Williams says she's a techno-moron compared to me. Idiot she is not, Compuser says. She is this girl writer this boy writer most admires even from a distance: she is in Australia and I am in the Philippines. She is married. She is definitely autistic. Years ago when my wife was mad at me, she shouted: 'Palibhasa autistic ka! High-functioning nga lang.' It's because you're autistic. Even if you are high-functioning.' My reply was, 'So I'm high-functioning. So what's your problem?'
