MATTER OVER MIND

BY JULIAN MUNOZ

My name is Julian Munoz, and I am sane. Why I am starting with that declaration: I have that kind of sense that tells me that people tend to equate autism with insanity. Autism affects my ability to control my body with my mind. The thinking part of my mind works perfectly. Unfortunately, that thinking part is not in control. We, the nonspeaking, get lumped in with the insane too often. Our outward appearance throws people. Were they to spend time with us, they would realize we are rational. What rationally has me writing this blog is the desire to set people straight.

A New Julian

The world will change for me next week. Really awkward to discuss aggression, but we totally must be open to hearing hard things. All my life, basically, I’ve suffered from bouts of extreme aggression. I don’t know what caused it, and I couldn’t control it. At last I am better, and can be with other people.

All my life I dreamed of that. But no one helped me get rid of the episodes, so I needed to be isolated. What kind of life is it, to never be able to have friends? The loneliness was beyond unbearable.

A week from today I will be starting in my first group. To see my dream come true is wonderful. Actually, it’s beyond wonderful: it’s like my whole world is finally filled with sunlight and warmth. At ten o’clock, on June 16, a week from now, a brand new Julian will be born.

The Day My Dream Came True

My ultimate dream, apart from being cured, is to be in groups of friends. I’m totally social, and love being with people more than anything. I was so lonely for so long when I couldn’t talk. Then my certainly major episodes of aggression prevented me from being with others.

When we met Judy, happy to say, my entire life got so much better. We learned what mainly love can do. We first got me to talk, then small things which made a huge difference started to happen: small things which totally changed my life. These things were her letting my Mom know about medicine that could help me. We went to see Judy’s psychiatrist, Dr. Minhas, and I can’t even begin to describe the difference in me already. My whole mind and body are definitely calming down. What a change!

Today that dream actually came true. Judy asked me if I wanted to be in a group. The answer is yes! Yes! Yes! I am totally, certainly happier than I have ever been!

This is one of the best days of my life.
