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.
