My bundle of raw energy named ~Wyatt Griffin Green.

It is human and we are all blessed by it, when you really LOOK.

I have been advocating for just a mere 4 yrs. now and I am continually astounded by the Autism Community and the emerging Autistic Culture I learn from. It is such a raw and natural landscape a neurodiverse universe being charted for the future. It seems like a “monolithic thinking expanse” where a whole new way of being can be shaped for humanity. Not a lot of people know about it yet but, in time I believe they will. People with differences have always been the ones making the greatest changes on the planet even when no one seems to be noticing. The shaping of things to come. It is usually done that way slowly, repetitively and methodically. The way a running river carves out it’s bed.

I feel this is the case with the Autistic mind. It has silently been there all along advancing and supporting societies globally without the ‘typical’ accolades. Slowly eroding a pathway and flowing humanity toward deeper “brain function knowledge.”

It is fact. The Autistic perspective has been engineering and pioneering without fanfare. Vastly UNDER diagnosed, understood, under identified and completely under acknowledged. At the same time it has been OVER blown, over thought, over therapized, and OVERTLY demonized and feared.

Through the examination of Autism so much has been learned about the basics of behavior. We should be thanking the ‘mysterious’ condition. Yes, there are extreme medical portions of Autism/Life that no one wants to thank and those must be addressed separately. Medical conditions exist in all of us and Autism has it’s fair share of ailments associated with it. We all need to be comfortable in our bodies to be able to enjoy this wonderful life. That aside, I believe we have learned so much good information about the central nervous system and how we experience the world. Ways to help us trouble-shoot these many medical conditions more pragmatically without fear. The simple static fact that we all access our brains a bit differently and we do and can feel the world differently is the first step to understanding others and ourselves.

This bears out throughout humanity as people naturally find their ‘niches’ in life. Scholar, scientist, artisan, laborer etc. We must have all types of abilities to build a village, a society. I feel there is a mega shift upon us. A major shift in old school self aggrandizing perspectives. Most of the people that happen upon the AutismHWY have felt it coming on for years. People are waking up to this more well rounded view, this less selfish perspective. Many people are accessing the amazing things being seen through this Autistic prism. Perhaps we are moving toward a world where people are accepted for what and who they are. A day when people will stop pressurizing others in life with the constant compare and contrast mentality. We as a society will know from the start, that we are all different with no need to be the same. Most importantly no need to feel superior to the other.

It is this second perspective. A perspective that has always been there unseen to me and other Non-Autistics. A train of thought intensely pure. Not always affected by the so-called status quo of the “collective normals.” A thought process that can think circles quickly around others. Sometimes unharnessable however, when harnessed and utilized…I believe some of humankind’s brightest concepts, achievements and creations. There is not one person on this planet that uses the whole of their brain. The mind is far too vast for a mere mortal to have full access to transport fluidly across it all. We as people are very territorial. Our brains included. We all have portions that we access more often than not. We travel and utilize the portions of our brains we are wired to. Our cranium comfort zones if you will. We all have them. They shape the way we think and feel. We now know that they are most definitely not the same for all people. That simple “we are the same” assumption has been corrupting us as loving, understanding and caring people. Causing derision among us when one group sees another as not the same. Too often people are pressured to be what they are not and simply cannot be because of this old train of thought. Time for that thought derailment. Autism finally disabuses people of the we are all the same scenario, thankfully.

MY Thinking…..EXACTLY!

Different stripes, different tribes, different ways of being !! That is the beauty of LIFE. We need differences in thinking to attack all angles of a project. The saying has ALWAYS BEEN…”Two heads are better than one.” I will take that to a new level by proclaiming that “Two thought processes are better than one!” When we can round out our brain awareness we can come full circle and see the complete panorama. It is much more than the black and white stark reality you may have been led to believe. There are many other colors of the spectrum in between. Showing us the brilliance of difference and how it teaches us so much. How it teaches us to be more loving, caring and accepting individuals. We NEED THAT!
