Alaska.
The
final frontier.
These
are the voyages of the earth mutant Scott.
To seek
out new life.
To find
opportunity wherever it hides!
With
that being said, I’m not supposed to be here.
The weird kid from Missouri that was always on the outside looking
in. By today’s standards I should be
medicated for all of my fears, anxieties, and quirks with someone checking in
on me.
When I
was young we didn’t know about the spectrum.
When I was young the only exposure the public had to autism were the
oddity docu-news pieces showing off so-called Idiot Savants…someone that had
extraordinary talents but couldn’t speak in coherent sentences or tie their own
shoelaces.
Since
we had no knowledge of the spectrum, nobody ever told me that I couldn’t do
what I tried to do. I failed miserably
many times when I was young. I tried and
tried but nothing worked. Even though I
didn’t know it at the time, I kept learning and I kept trying. I was still the weird kid that didn’t quite
fit in. But I did it.
From
Missouri to San Diego to the Gulf of Oman to Australia to Missouri to Alaska, I
did it all and I did it my way. Did I
make things much harder than necessary? Yes, I did. There were many ups and downs over the years. I survived.
I made it through. Life has
indeed been a journey.
My
newest journey has already begun.
Forging a new life in Alaska. Learning
to create and fend for myself. Learning
to appreciate beauty wherever it is.
Learning to create my unique vision of art alongside my wife and best
friend Kitty.
