I understand Autism as a rhetoric because it is involve with many different forms of communication. After watching the video on autism in class, it is cool to see that Autistic people can interact with normal language, but then they take it deeper to "interacting with the world constantly".  People with autism tend to keep their types of communication to themself.  As writers, a lot of the time we do the same thing. We tend to close off some things, and go more deeply into others. Understanding Autism creates a parallel with normal rhetoric in this case. And a lot of the time I enjoy going in depth into specific pieces in my writing, because those pieces are closer to the heart and more dear to me. Very similar to the way Autism works.
