I'm Deundrae. I've been writing for a period
of time now when it comes to short stories--though
I haven't the time to write with college coming--but
I still have lots to learn before being published
(I mean, we all have lots to learn, I hope.)
When comes to poetry though, I'm still trying
to learn the forms, how to rhyme, how to interpret
poems, etc. When it comes to topics I mostly
write about Autism since I have a high-functioning
form of it called Asperger's Syndrome, and
I have ADHD, so yeah, I'm different from everyone
in my town. Mostly personal experiences with
it since I can't write for every autistic
person, but I plan to educate the public about
it with my poems in hopes of people stop viewing
it as a burden and the people with it as Rain
Man or mentally retarded. If I can change
one person's perspective of autism then I
feel good about myself and everyone whose
lives benefits with the Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Hopefully, I think this site can help improve
my skills. Any comments on how to improve
my writing will be appreciated. And maybe
one day I'll be a better poet.
