This moment... this New Year... disturbs many. I want to share a disturbing moment from my autistic youth—and how I survived it. It weirdly relates to right now.At 70-something, this is the happiest time of my autistic life. Not chasing distant goals—just breathing in this fabulous moment here.This piece inverts Yeats' “Second Coming” to tell a personal story about my grandfather, sailing out to Montauk Point, and discovering that the anxiety of losing sight of shore gives way to something unexpected.Content Note: This piece addresses troubling family history and inherited complexity.My grandfather was a complex man who kept Mein Kampf in his nightstand. And who also took me sailing. Out on the water to Montauk Point, I'd experience overwhelming anxiety as we lost sight of shore. Just sky, waves, constant rolling. Disoriented, like a whiteout in a blizzard.But after an hour or so, I'd make my way to the prow. Wind on my face. Sun on my body. Salt breeze filling my chest. Quieting my heart.Who cares about sailing toward Montauk and its fabulous trees anymore? I'm busy breathing in this fabulous moment here.Thanks for reading #AutisticAF Out Loud Newsletter! The algorithm hates me. I must be doing something right… so feel free to share it.Runtime: ~3:50 Full text: Substack link More spoken word: Living Autistic Truth playlistI'm an autistic poet and spoken word performer, diagnosed at 63.

Let's say… I'm in my 70s now. Happiest time of my autistic life.Not too worried about some fabulous unachievable autistic Nirvana… These days…Now, here's that story.My grandfather was a… complex man.He slept beside an orderly nightstand.Tucking Mein Kampf tightIn its tidy drawer every night.And…He used to take me sailing out to Montauk Point… a sea journey from Bay Shore, Long Island… at least as he sailed it on the ocean side… swinging out into the deep water…In his telling, it was a fabulous place.Where a sandstone lighthouse lit the waves, warning of danger.Where the grass on the golf course grew sideways.And every single damn tree bowed toward the West…From the eternal wind blowing onshore.His heaven on earth, he called it…...The wind carries all the sound away…But its roar in my earscreates a kind of hushed silenceinside me..I always experience high anxietyas we lose sight of the shore.Just sky, waves & constant rolling…Disoriented.Like a whiteout in a blizzard.If you throw in some seasickness.But after an hour or so, I make my way to the prow. And sit.Wind on my faceSun on my bodySalt breeze filling my chest…Quieting my heart.Anxiety? Disorientation?I observeThe fixed lighthouseIn the far off dusk.Splashing its light… bravelyInto the spray.Knowing deepIn its softNative sandstone heart…Time and tide wait for it....I stop caring about the shoreline. And the anxious Hell waiting for me on the other side. For hours at a time.....Who cares about sailing toward Montaukand its fabulous trees…anymore…Or... ever again?I'm busy breathing in…thisfabulous momenthere#AutisticAF Out Loud Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

We are excited to head to New York today to speak with Listener Jessica about three trips she took to Walt Disney World with her family this past summer! We hear about why the Disney "bug" bit her so hard and why it is so special to not only her, but her entire family! We spend a good part of the show on her trip to Disney's Boardwalk Inn this past August, discussing the nightlife on the Boardwalk, joys of night swimming, slowing down and enjoying the "small moments", and unexpected adventures with the grandparents! We also discuss a quick trip to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and a fun birthday trip to the Riviera as well! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse! Thank you so much for your support of our podcast!
