A World through Rogue eyes

Most parents take for granted their daily life. Something like having to stop and consider every little alteration made to your home environment is not something the average person would ever need think over, never mind having to deliberately condition yourself to be aware of.

Rigidy is one of the most difficult to understand aspects of Rogue’s autism.

It wouldn’t occur to me that the stovetop hood light being turned off, when it is usually on would cause distress.

I don’t understand how the change in the wattage of a lamp lightbulb would even be noticed, never mind be uncomfortable.

My mind doesn’t wrap around why a different pillow case would be upsetting.

I don’t notice when the label colour changes on my cod liver oil.

Oh, the ways in which you show me the light Rogue. How else would I become so aware of my effect on the world around me. How could I have ever learned that every single action I chose, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant instantly creates a ripple and triggers a butterfly effect that ultimately shapes the world around me. Thank you Rogue for choosing to be exactly who you are so that I may learn everything that you know but cannot tell me.
