Looking for an Essay

Post Reply New Topic

I am looking for an essay on ASDs entitled "The Importance of Centipedes" or something similar.

I read it many years ago. It said a lot of things I would like to say.

It started off with a little boy talking about how much he liked centipedes, how much he knew about them, how cool the were, how he told his kindergarten teacher all about centipedes...

...you get the idea, right???...

...and then about how his dad took him for a bunch of tests and came home with a bottle of pills and said, "Son, you're not like the other little children, but if you take these pills, you'll be better."

Then he starts talking, in very short sentences, about how tired he is and how nothing's fun. The last three lines of the essay are, "I saw a bug in the garden. I forget what it's called. I squished it with a rock."

I was trying to find it online. I searched the forums here and did a general search online as well. Nothing.

I know I didn't dream, imagine, or hallucinate this. Can anyone tell me where to find it???

I googled around for this and the only likely sounding link took me to a white power site. So now THAT shows up in my browser history. I wonder how it will affect the ads I see.
Anyway, one of the members had posted a link to the essay but it no longer worked. So it exists, I just can't find it. Sorry.

I'll start looking for it, as it sounds interesting. If you imagined it, though, write it down. It could make you a lot of money, as it's an excellent concept.
