Teaching Myself to See deals with Tito’s struggles to participate in a world full of visual details. As a person with autism, Tito is visually selective, processing the myriad of details seeping in through the eye rather than the whole. Tracing Tito’s experiences to learn to see in his own, “hyper-visual” way, through art, through magazines, through everyday life, Teaching Myself to See is a work of auto-anthropology, capturing in words, sentences, paragraphs, poems, a way of seeing that might seem so bewildering that doctors and psychologists told his mother he wouldn’t be able to think. This book proves otherwise. By teaching us to look through his eyes, Tito shows us the miracle and immense complexity of sight, of neuro-atypicals and neuro-typicals alike.
The airplane was passing through a turbulent area in the sky — who knows which part of the world it was? I did not make note of the date and time. You remember details like flying, memorize the scratch marks on the airplane window and you never get to remember big details like the date. Time is a fuzzy logic in my calculations. Details over details piled up in my mind — like those piled clouds clogging the plane and smearing the view. Outside the window a painter was covering the twitch on the lips of his portrait — first with a dab of white as if to forget the expression and then pro-ceeded to erase the whole picture with manic whim, including her eyes. Sometimes you could see just the window and feel the shake of the seat, then hear the pilot’s announcement without even bothering to follow up what his cracking voice instructed. All you know is that your seat is shaken somewhere on a wide cobble stoned cloudy road. Turbulences are no longer a surprise for me. I am desensitized through several years of flying. As the clouds coiled a mesh around the plane, the pilot was bor-ing tunnels and burrows to escape the entombment.
