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.

The Dance

After my latest post, having thought about it, I am totally too excited for people to understand. For over thirty years I was alone in this body with nothing but my loneliness for company. There are times still where I can’t come to terms with my new reality. The thought that we get to make ourselves known is overwhelming. Add to that, dances and classes and galas and you still don’t fully get the wonderfulness that is M2H. 


There is less than one week until the dance. Apparently for much of that time I won’t be sleeping: the butterflies in my stomach are having a field day. Maybe you, who are speaking, cannot understand this level of excitement. But those of you who are nonspeaking mostly will understand. People who love this place get why it’s special. People who come here experience the magic.
