The autism community has been embroiled in a heated debate for the past few weeks over the proposal to dramatically change the criteria for autism diagnosis in the upcoming fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

Poetry

I dont know if this what a writer does before they go into stories but I have tried my hand at poems. Plenty of the poems I have written are no longer around. However, I do have some saved. Mind you not all of these poems are good. In fact 80% of my poems I can honestly suck. The thing is though I figure since my fans like my books perhaps they would like to see my poetry.
So what do you think?
