No alphabets

I find numbers to be easy to understand then the alphabet. English is one of the hardest languages in the world. There, their, they’re… too difficult. Numbers have a lot of meaning in my opinion, that’s why I’m “pretty good” at math. Pretty good because I’m not very good at coming up with answers really quickly. I have to think it out sometimes.

I’ll tell you why numbers are pretty cool. There are ten numbers that go on for a long time. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Then there are two numbers that come after 9 which is 10. There’s the numbers 1 and 0 and it goes over and over again. Just like the weekends; Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday… just the like the months- well you get the idea.

I love to play video games, I really like playing racing games that have the race cars with the numbers on them. I have a game where you can slap your own number on the race car. I honestly thought pretty hard about the different numbers that could be on my collection of racing cars. I couldn’t slap the same number because that would be boring. So I thought of reasons why my numbers matter for the cars and all the other stuff that could use numbers using two digits or less.

  • 57: Count my letters. T-Y-L-E-R (5) M-C-N-A-M-E-R (7) Important number on my opinion.
  • 32: I had an email account called excitebike32@gmail.com. 3 years old when playing the video games, 2 excitebike games; one for NES, one for N64.
  • 3: My Dad has two siblings, and my Mom has two siblings.  Each set of grandparents had three children.
  • 94: Born on the year 1994. The year Tekken and Killer Instinct got into the arcades.
  • 7: July; birth month.
  • 10: Birth day
  • 13: Graduated high school in 2013
  • 20: Ten toes, ten fingers… balance! 20!
  • 1: I am number one… just kidding, a lot of people love that number for many reasons.

The list goes on and on! There are many numbers I can think of that are important to me. If I can think of 3 digit numbers, then it would be…

  • 557: T-Y-L-E-R (5) A-L-L-A-N (5) M-C-N-A-M-E-R (7)
  • 780: First three numbers of my old phone number. An interesting combination of numbers. 7 has the most syllables then any other number. 8 has two “o”s stacked on top of each other. 0 has unlimited corners just like the 8, but 7 has three corners and two sides, just like it has two syllables.

The list continues. So anytime I race in a driving simulator like Gran Turismo, I would pick the numbers that are cool and unique to me. If I were in a real race car, I would have a blast picking the numbers and most importantly racing around the track.

Moments and meanings are all numbered. What are your favorite numbers?

The Bond Between Water and Autism

I’ve been noticing lately that there have been a relationship with the water and with people who have autism.

I can understand that whole thing because I remembered the time that I enjoyed the water when I was 3 months old. I love swimming myself, it’s always fun going into the water and feel free.

That is basically why people who have autism would feel when being in the water, they feel free. Of course, no one has to agree with me, but that’s my intent on it when it comes to the water. I would swim for hours and hours at the pool mostly just underwater. At a young age, I learned how to deflate my “airbags” in my lungs to make me sink down on the deep end of the pool and just sit there for a while. Then I would rocket myself up.

The thing about water and swimming is that no one can just walk in order to move, they can just move all over as if people are flying. That’s why penguins are still considered as birds because although they can’t fly in the air, they can fly and glide in the water. Outrages on the other hand fly through the wind by using their running speed. Although not flying in the air, they seem to fly while running. There are a lot of ways to describe flying, but it’s always common when flying goes up in the air. Water is close enough, but not quite.

I tend to look at things closer in order to observe what’s going on in my surroundings. I remember as a baby I would look at the water that’s dripping down off my hands and feet seeing all of the little drops and the big drops. Splashing the water was exciting for me because I saw lots and lots of water droplets going everywhere. At first, I thought all water is the same and safe to drink. It was then I learned that salt water isn’t very tasty and sickening to the tummy.

Water is a mystery for a lot of people who have autism, and they enjoy that mystery. That’s how I see it.
