I’m here to send love and post the wisdom of my autistic son Kelsey. ❤️❤️❤️https://bsky.app/profile/mediawatchnw.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/mediawatchnw.bsky.social/post/3lqx25gmxrs2kKelsey from 2015: "Life can be really lonely. It means everything when people contact you and invite you to do things or just talk. Sometimes I think I'm the only one who feels lonely because l'm autistic, but I think maybe people without ASD can feel this way, too."06 Jun 2025 14:27 +0000at://did:plc:utdds2dmd32wxpkw537yb6ka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lqx25gmxrs2khttps://bsky.app/profile/mediawatchnw.bsky.social/post/3lq5uezpd5k2rKelsey from 2019: "I just don't understand war at all. We are all humans. Instead of trying to kill each other, why aren't we trying to help each other survive?"27 May 2025 14:07 +0000at://did:plc:utdds2dmd32wxpkw537yb6ka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lq5uezpd5k2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/mediawatchnw.bsky.social/post/3lpypunj4uk2gMe: "Kelsey!

We have to help our children learn the words and concepts so they can think for themselves: “Dad, the vocabulary you helped me learn has made it possible for me to be believed for what I know and not just for what you taught me.”13 May 2025 13:20 +0000at://did:plc:utdds2dmd32wxpkw537yb6ka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lp2lakak622chttps://bsky.app/profile/mediawatchnw.bsky.social/post/3loyu4rfbkc2rIt’s a sunny breezy day on the island. I’ll be taking some time off at the end of the week. I was going to drive with a friend up into the Canadian Rocky’s but they can’t make. Probably too far for me alone with my eye situation. I can’t fly yet. Where else should I go?12 May 2025 20:54 +0000at://did:plc:utdds2dmd32wxpkw537yb6ka/app.bsky.feed.post/3loyu4rfbkc2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/mediawatchnw.bsky.social/post/3loy3tifsy22gHappy Monday!

Yesterday Kelsey told me while we were wizzing around on the Vespa, “Gaining acceptance from neurotypical people made it possible for me to be ok with being different.”10 May 2025 14:09 +0000at://did:plc:utdds2dmd32wxpkw537yb6ka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lot4k7prgc27https://bsky.app/profile/mediawatchnw.bsky.social/post/3lorlvnx6cc2mSomething really important to know about Kelsey. While many see autism as a gift, Kelsey does not. He sees it as a birth defect that has robbed him of a normal and happy life. Kelsey is motivated in life to work as hard as he can to overcome his cognitive deficits.09 May 2025 23:38 +0000at://did:plc:utdds2dmd32wxpkw537yb6ka/app.bsky.feed.post/3lorlvnx6cc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/mediawatchnw.bsky.social/post/3loqkse2iyc2cKelsey from 6/24: “When I was a kid I didn’t know how to use my own words so I said a lot of lines from movies instead.
