Description
This pourquoi tale is bound to interpret the light-behavior, light-properties, physiology of vision, and perception of colors by nocturnal and diurnal animals. At its core, it calls us to revisit our definitions of ‘hyperfunctional’ or ‘borderline’ autism spectrum disorders. It is not an eye-opening discovery that the autism spectrum inventories are weak and deficient. This reality leads to enormous accounts of misdiagnoses. The “borderline” between the highly functional autism and “traditional” person should be stemmed of the principle of functionality, rather than “communication.” There are no identical characters or personalities, not even among the identical twins. A person may be strong in one skill and weak in another. The one who “sees the bright colors well” (which is the easiest thing to do) may have hard time to observe “the dark forest in all its beauty” or find “a story in each gray-scale leaf.” Often, the person struggles to communicate not because s/he is autistic, but because the persons surrounding her/him happened to be narrow-minded, or cognitively and mentally poor. Make no mistake: the most shallow and superficial persons are the best communicators. They’re there to confirm the Socratic perspective: “the lesser you know, the more confident you are,” because the true knowledge is about knowing how much you do not know.
