    I enjoy people. I love to socialize but can also enjoy being quiet and to myself. I am a very caring and loving person who strives to make a big difference in other people's lives. I love using my talents and energy to change the world and make it a better place for my friends and family to live in. I have a younger sister who I am very close to. I can be a bit forward and socially awkward but have learned to embrace this as one of my better qualities and attributes. If I am too forward I simple ask that you let me know so I can do my best to not be awkward. I love sports. I like the Indiana Hoosiers, Green Bay Packers, Boston Celtics, Fort Wayne Komets, and Chicago Cubs. I like to think about the future some but also enjoy being in he moment and appreciating each person I am spending time with. I love kids and one day I hope to start a family of my own. This year I am putting a lot of time, effort, and thought into the formation of my new non-profit organization that will have a mission of helping people with co-morbid diagnosis of autism with a mental illness. I am very passionate about mental illness. I love to make a difference in the lives of others. Even though I am busy with my passion I will always have time for friends and family as well as a special someone if I were to meet her.

      About the Author

      Normal Life

      There was a day that I was normal. I was not a slave to the voices and hallucinations that have stolen my life. There was a day where I could live and do the things that I wanted to do. There was life in me at one point and time.

      I remember enjoying my life and everything about it. I was a kid. I had it all as a kid. The best parents, the best life, I was the best trombone player in school. I did fairly well in school. School had not gotten the best of me until I got into high school. I think that is when I started having some of my problems.

      You see in high school I noticed things were not right. I felt as if I was not the person I was as a younger kid and that bothered me. I had no idea who to turn to so I could talk about some of the things that I was experiencing. I that age I barely knew what a counselor or doctor was so it was not like I could just walk into my local mental health clinic and talk to someone about the strange and bizarre things I was seeing and hearing like I can today.

      I was a normal child. I even got to be a normal teenager for a couple of years. That was before the schizophrenia part came in my life. They say schizophrenia hits men in their late teens to early twenties. For me I think it had officially kicked in by age 19 but I think that it started off long before that. I think I was having issues with voices and hallucinations by the age of 15.

      It became harder for me to focus on my school work and the academics that I was trying to focus on. I was once a straight A student in Elementary school. Then all of a sudden I had become a student who had mostly A’s and B’s with some C’s by middle school. By the time I got into high school I was lucky I did not fail any classes and I got a lot of D’s as well.

      My life had been stripped of me. There was no more normal. At least, there was no more of what I thought was normal and that was very hard for me to cope with. I wanted more than anything to have my old life back. I did not even really know or understand what was happening to me. I just knew that I was different and having a lot of social issues with trying to fit in with my classmates and other kids in school. It was hard on me. It was very frustrating for me.
