I take piano lessons. When I started I was sure I could never do a thing with my clumsy hands. My hands don't listen to me well. I fumble with buttons and shoelaces so I thought, "Right, I'll play melodies. Ha ha."
Cool in a way to remember that because I do play melodies now. Some are in two hands. My progress is slow but my skills improve steadily. Sometimes I get discouraged because I can't control my hands better than I do, but I can control them better than I did. My teacher is patient and kind and I am so lucky to have her.
I am an autistic guy with a message. I spent the first half of my life completely trapped in silence. The second - on becoming a free soul. I had to fight to get an education. Now I am a regular education student. I communicate by typing on an iPad or a letter board. My book, "Ido in Autismland" is now available on Amazon. It is an autism diary, telling the story of my symptoms, education, and journey into communication. I hope to help other autistic people find a way out of their silence too.
