Taking my life and its ups and downs into account, when I had no voice, who I was only existed in other people’s stories, without input from me in any way, wanting what everyone else had. Somehow, grace dominated circumstances and my bound voice was loosed in typing. In that time, inauthenticity was a question for talkers who tend to eliminate and bully we who have no voice. I wanted to emphasize authenticity of my communications then. Wanting a way to teach each real day easy quiet lessons from patience with autism, I liked Authentic John as the most effective expression of my message.

As life satisfactorily progressed and grace has remained with me, wishful dreams of engaging socially on a wonderful level quietly expert in autism, isolation, and coming out of it, easily seeing lives powerfully inspired and benefitted by my expertise and voice, what witnesses to me as real, elementary, and certain in my future is a knowing ability that changes the world we live in. Reality is shaped by language. The hunger and listening for truth witnessed, walked, and shared from darkness in a lasting Love is compelling. Each day, we are freeing voices like mine to walk and share the hope while we chronicle the fascinating, awesome witness to love. As I do this, my purpose as a man is realized. Jack is, a more manly name to me. That’s the story awesome love awesomely writes for me, and why I now become Awesome Jack.
