The thing about Dr. S, is...

my schoolside custodian's got many an ounce of might. he was an athlete, a mechanic, big in the biceps and then on in the gut. an engineer, they call him, but he professes not to know anything so fancy as all that. i'm sure we don't - none of us - believe him.

what autism he has! what beautiful dyslexia. what an intricate and nuanced understanding of the world around him, that he draws around us all.
