The article asserts that for autistics concepts that neurotypicals take for granted take time and effort to 'discover and capture' and explores how poetry is a helpful tool in this processs.

The article also includes material first published in Wendy Lawson's chapter 'Remembering School' in Margo Prior (ed.), Learning and Behavior Problems in Asperger Syndrome, Guilford Press, 2003.
