who had this metaphor with a game of Poker?

I meant to steal it, but I forgot lol (it's a good one) :)
autism is like playing poker in dark with blank cards and everyone else is wearing black goggles

I've thought about it like this for years, except I've seen it like I am in a glass box, and I can only watch people going through their daily lives through the glass.

If the persons know what autism is, it's pretty easy to just say: "Think autism, but light."

why bother telling anyone they wont understand anyway
or tell them and kill em in the face they wuldnt understand that either
grrrrrrrr :evil: im pee'd off
you could tell someone who has read an entire book on it and they wuld not understand it
you'll have to settle for being wierd in others point of view

edit: sorry bad mood but the basic message remains
