I have Asperger’s Syndrome, a high functioning form of Autism. When I was diagnosed in the early 90s, experts at the time said I wouldn’t be able to graduate High School. I graduated from a public school system in Northern Michigan with an average GPA and continued on to go on to receive an Associate’s Degree and a Certificate of Development.
I doesn’t give himself enough credit for these accomplishments. Even though I have combined his two self-published collections of poetry into an Anthology and receives praise for my work, I feel I needs to do more. I feel everything I do is one stepping stone to the next stepping stone. My destination is unknown. But as I have learned, the destination is unimportant, it is the journey that matters.
Giving Back
I am a firm believer in giving back to the community. After all I have been through with all the support I has been given over the years, I feel to not give back would mean everything I have accomplished up to this point means nothing. I have hopes all my efforts will bring hope to others. If I do get recognition for my efforts, I usually accept it and shake it off. I don’t think I deserves recognition for doing what I feels is right.
A Man of Faith
I am a follower of Jesus. I doesn’t talk much about matters of the faith because I considers as one piece of who I am. I was baptized on July of 2018. I consider the baptism a public display of giving himself to the service of the Lord. I’m not much of a spreader of the Gospel, but I am a testament to how you can return to to the Light after being lost in Darkness for a number of years. I have a ways to go, but I have come a long way in terms of faith and life in general.
For Fun
For fun I enjoy writing, board games, trading card games, and other collection games like Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, Dice Masters, and HeroClix. I’m not very competitive in these games. If I win, great. If I lose, no need to get frustrated. If I get beaten severely multiple times in a row, I may be a bit agitated. Then again, who wouldn’t.
