An Autistic Man / Simple Somnus

Photography – Nashville

I was diagnosed at 35 with Autism, PTSD, and long term depression. I learned that Autism is not my disease or my disorder but the way that my brain forms my mind. Autism helps me see through the trauma and depression and loneliness it did not cause. I deeply desire to use my Autistic skills of observing detailed patterns to help show the incredible similarities that bind us all together and the wonderful diversities that distinguish our unique talents. My writing and photography serve as therapies for me and a way to order my world so that YOU can see it and we can grow together.
