For most of her life, Aakriti believed something was wrong with her, and she became very good at hiding it.
Out of Pattern is a collection of twenty-one poems written after a late diagnosis of autism and ADHD. The poems stay inside the feeling, hedging and hesitating the way she does, and they reach for a vocabulary of their own: wiring, constellations, design.
If you have ever felt out of step with the pattern around you, these poems keep you company. If you haven't, they might show you how it feels from inside.
