ACHIEVEMENT

BY KYLE FLYNN

My name is Kyle Flynn and I am the last person on earth who ever thought he’d be able to write a blog. Lots of my friends here at M2H spell so well that it looks really easy for them. I have to explain that this is incredibly difficult for me, even after years. Really I am helping myself and others who struggle to spell certainly, by showing that even those of us who have more trouble spelling can still have a voice. Sometimes you must struggle to achieve.

My Harem

My Mom is here today. It’s a treat. Really, what’s better than a day with your Mom?

My Mom is my hero. She was there when I needed her my entire life. As I sit here, I am surrounded by my three favorite women.

Happy doesn’t begin to cut it.

Pinchy Kyle

Let me just say that sometimes I like to pinch. Happy to explain: it’s a combination of impulsivity and love. I get overwhelmed with affection, and my body responds with a pinch. I wish it wouldn’t since I know it hurts. It started when I started to spell; I’m not sure why. Really, I think it’s just that I’m not angry anymore. I know that sounds really weird: happy Kyle is pinchy Kyle. My favorite people get it the worst: Nicole and Judy, watch out! (I’m sorry!)

Hallmark Moment

Someday has arrived. I have listened to everyone else talk about Grandpa Wally for forever. That was hard because I wanted to be in his class so much. This past Friday my dream came true. Hallmark Moment: it was even better than I imagined. Going to that class really means more to me than I can say.

This week he explained the periods of classical music and the forms. Judy played Beethoven’s 5th symphony to show us sonata allegro form. We also listened to a fugue by Bach. We finished with a piece by Rachmaninoff.

Never in my life was there any opportunity to learn. This Kyle now has so many chances. I am so happy!

My New Life

Having autism means isolation too often. I don’t mean just the fact that we can’t talk most of the time. One thing that most people don’t think about is that we so rarely get to go out and do normal things: no shows, concerts, comedy clubs, etc. I am loving that I am doing things in the community now. I have gone to concerts at Jones Beach. I definitely get chills thinking about it.

I am so different now than I was before spelling. I get emotional thinking about it. When I started with Judy, I was really more impaired than I am now. Having been treated like I was a terrifying moron all my life made me one. Hate had made me an awful person. These days I am nothing like that. This Kyle loves people…and life.

My life is rich with learning and fun and friends. And now I can even do things in the community. I am so happy.

Finally!

My spelling is finally making huge strides. The laminate is finally reality. I could tell that I was getting better. I have something to announce, I thought. So I told Judy that I was improving. She, of course, had recognized it already. “May I bring in the laminate?”

I am spelling this on the laminate, just like I have dreamed of.

I have been spelling for four years, mainly with Judy. I am not yet as good as Kaitlin, which was my goal. For the longest time I didn’t believe I would ever get there. Today is one of the happiest in my entire life.

I really have to thank all the people who have helped me. Nicole, my Mom, Bryant and Judy totally rock.

I am so happy.

My Voice

Having less than my absolute best written words on my blog really bothers me. I really always want to be seen as the intelligent person I am. My words are the only way I have to show people who I really am. What gets me is when someone is not listening to me. Typing is incredibly hard for me, so every word matters. I’m tired of being ignored.

Writing is so important to me that my words are carefully selected. When nonspeakers type, remember that is their voices. Don’t ignore them because it’s inconvenient.

My Party

On Saturday I had my thirtieth birthday party. My Mom went gaga and rented the top floor of a restaurant. She invited many of my friends. There was tons of food and a bar with drinks - and lots of beer. The highlight for me was when my family stood in front of everyone and read my speech and one of my poems. Listening to my Mom’s speech was awesome too.

Sometimes, before I could talk, I would dream of a party like that. I have to say, that party exceeded my dreams.

My Party

In two weeks I am having my thirtieth birthday party. I am so excited, there are no words. It’ my first real party, with my own friends. This is really momentous for me. Really, my birthday has always sucked. I had no real Hallmark Moments to remember. But this year my parents have gone all out: there will be music and dancing and food. I have written a speech.

My really most happy dream is coming true. I am so looking forward to it!

Not Fake News

Many people want to help us but their words are meaningless. Perhaps their intentions are even good. They mean well yet they have no follow-through. I learned a long time ago that the old adage, “Actions speak louder than words” is true. We live in a world where words are everywhere, and most are fake news. Most people say things that they mean at the time, but in the end, they find excuses to not do what they promised.

So when someone does what she said she would, it means the world. Judy said she would expand the center, and she did. She cared enough to spend her profits on us. There are no words that adequately express my gratitude. Many of us owe a great, big thank you to her.

Scrooge

It’s really hard to like holidays when it means the M2H is closed. I hate missing my time here. Most people may love holiday season, loving the whole hoopla. But I don’t. Having the Center shut means that I have to stay home. Really sore about it. You’re going to be here in Mount Kisco anyway, Judy, so why not open?

So, bah humbug everyone.
