немного занудства...

[Um_Zarazum]

Я читаю книгу написанную от лица аутиста (ладно. не совсем аутиста, синдром Аспергера это не совсем аутизм, некоторые даже считаю его вообще не аутизмом, но это такие сложные детали...) и якобы самим мальчиком-аутистом. И оно приекрасно! Книга, сам мальчик и его стиль мышления. Они все прекрасны.

Ниже: пример рассуждений не относящихся к сюжету.

Цитата длиной в небольшую главу для потренировать правописание и на память

I find people confusing.
This is for two main reasons.
The first main reason is that people do a lot of talking without using any words. Siobhan says that if you rise one eyebrow it can mean lots of different things. It can mean "I want to do sex with you" and it can also mean "I think that what you just said was very stupid".
Siobhan also says that if you close your mouth and breathe out loudly through your nose it can mean that you are relaxed, or that you are bored, or that you are angry and it all depends on how much air comes out of your nose and how fast and what shape your mouth is when your do it and how you are sitting and what you said just before and hundreds of other things which are too complicated to work out in a few seconds.
The second main reason is that people often talk using metaphors. These are examples of metaphors

I laughed my socks off.
He was the apple of her eye.
They had a skeleton in the cupboard.
We had a real pig of a day.
The dog was stone dead.
The word metaphor means carrying something from one place to another, and it comes from the Greek words "meta" (which means from one place to another) and "ferein" (which means to carry) and it is when you describe something by using a word for something that it isn't.This means that the word metaphor is a metaphor.
I think it should be called a lie because a pig is not like a day and people do not have skeletons in their cupboards. And when I try and make a picture of the phrase in my head it just confuses me because imagining an apple in someone's eye doesn't have anything to do with liking someone a lot and it makes you forget what the person was talking about.
My name (Christopher) is a metaphor. It means carrying Christ and it comes from the Greek words "hristos" (which means Jesus Christ) and "ferein" and it was a name given to St. Christopher because he carried Jesus Christ across a river.
That makes me wonder what he was called before he carried Christ across the river. But he wasn't called anything because this is an apocryphical story which means that it is a lie, too.
Mother used to say that it meant Christopher was a nece name because it was a story about being kind and helpful, but I do not want my name to mean a story about being kind and helpful. I want my name to mean me.

На месте про скелеты я несколько споткнулась (да, это тоже метафора). Потому что Укицу ДЕЙСТВИТЕЛЬНО хранит скелеты в шкафу.
