The Spice of Autumn
An unempirical definition of mental retardation is the inability to pick up on social clues that form the basis of and thereby bridge learning experiences.
Outside the looking glass of our meeting room one October day in 1999, a gentle breeze carried the first wave of crisp falling autumn leaves across the chilly sky. For some reason, their fall to Earth reminded me of the feather floating down in the opening scene of the movie Forrest Gump. I looked over at my mildly mentally retarded client who was still dressed as if it were rabid summer. She sat anxiously waiting for others to lead the meeting.

I must have Seasonal Affective Disorder, too; this hot and humid summer weather is holding me hostage indoors. My cabin fever is raging out of control; I want to beat the -ell out of someone or some thing!
