On the first day of Labor Day
weekend, I went to Mickey Surplus’s army surplus store with my dad, Cam, and
Nora, where I ended up getting a paracord bracelet making kit, a length of
nearly one hundred feet of paracord, and a military can opener, which I assumed
could also be used as a bottle opener when I didn’t have my pocketknife due to
going through airport security to get home from Colorado. While I was there, I also got four calls from
the same number. When I got home, I
returned the call and found out they were from Paige, the new THRIVE student,
who called me to wish me a happy Labor Day. Later on, I went to Starbuck’s as I
had done so often before the summer started and read more of Water Touching Stone. I also found some time to talk to my friend Tyler. I also make another one of my leather braided
bracelets for the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network of Kansas City’s silent
auction to be held in November. I did
that again the next day and got a soda from Better Cheddar, from which I got a
new bottle cap for my collection. I also
ate dinner at the Hereford House with my dad, Cam, and my grandparents. The next day I went back to UCM and continued
one with my life as a student.
Living away from home with Asperger syndrome, working to start an autistic student organization in small town Missouri with the everyday challenges of school work, friends, relationship prospects, campus involvement, and independent living, with only my friends, family, faith, passions, heart, mind, and community of like-minded individuals for support.
