Where Are You From?

Hey!

It was with Kristin Frank, owner and operator of the business Loma Life in Moorhead, Minnesota, and it was with her son Logan that we did chat about living life as an autistic person, like being diagnosed at a certain age and at a certain time, and dealing with the emotions or with the frustrations of challenges that can and that of arise because of it!

Wow!

Hey hey!

Dayna Del Val and myself did set aside some time to talk about be a leader, or how it is that we can be leaders in our own community!

People have been telling me that I am such a great, great leader or such a great example, or that I am such a fearless, fearless, fearless and kind and trustworthy person, and I had thought that I ought to bring that up to Dayna, who it is who is the director of The Arts Partnership on Fargo-Moorhead, to get some perspective and some input and advice about that sort of thing!

Y’know I do agree that I am one heck of a wonderful, wonder guy, and one amazing, amazing, amazing head of figurehead or chief here!

Hey!

Hello hello, and hi there!

Haha!

Hi!

Here is the skinny!

It was at the Roasted Rail Coffee House in Dilworth, Minnesota that I did have a opportunity to sit down with Red River Valley Asperger-Autism Network board member, and fellow adult ASD or fellow adult autism spectrum disorder representative and friend Blair Stuart Hill to talk about our own experiences concerning being people, or concerning being individuals who had been diagnosed as autistic or as neurodivergent later in life!

Gosh!

Gosh did we discuss so very, very much!

We did!

Hahaha!

We did converse about getting ourselves the right diagnoses and about being role models and about being mentors for to our families and for our communities, and we did ask a few questions of one another so that we may better understand our own private or own personal, personal choices or decisions, and our own ideas or feelings!

Gosh it was great!

It was!

It really, really was!

Bill Thompson is a good, good friend that I am supposed to have, and he and I did chat about “the industry” or working in the movies, and for television programs, or certain productions and the like!
