Holy S--t Alyssa! You beat me to my own poem. Years ago in college as a Lit. major I learned about the many different ways of judging/rating a writers work. Flow, grammar, popularity, profoundness, depth are just a few. Some even contradict each other. Art is so subjective. It may be even more difficult for us (Aspie here) as communication is often challenging, especially with neurotypicals and in person. I remember sometimes showing classmates my work and at first being accused of plagiarism because they thought it was so good. I guess they thought that if I was so bad at talking I must be bad at writing too. Especially in poetry, "rules" are not absolute.
