I read with great interest your story and your replies to other comments and it got me thinking about your situation and those with the similar problems.
Now, I don't want to be-little autism by any means, but it looks to me like Aspergers...

Never read Ginsberg, except excerpts from poems

I guess they didn't make an impression. However, I do think I should go back and visit him and Woolf and a few others if I'm going to have any chance of understanding SOC. It's been a long time since I read On the Road and now I can't find my...
