Abstract
In this manuscript, I explore domesticity through the lens of autism. In doing so, through woven-in quotes, centos, and my own Writing-In form, I bring in a chorus of other women poets and artists, such as Gertrude Stein, Emily Dickinson, Gracie Leavitt, Stav Poleg, Catrin Welz-Stein, and Barbara Lekberg, arguing that all poetry is found poetry because all knowledge is collective (and collected). I also write through and about collage, noted by researcher Julie Brown as an aspect of autistic writing in her book Writers on the Spectrum.
