A Language to Open
Adam Wolfond
I write a new language to open the way of thinking for different voices to be included. I am a nonspeaking man of autism who types and feels language moving like a dance of relation, thinking about the pace of the middle of it. Relation is key to education. My language is a call for the voices that walk and make new paths. I want to discuss the way I learn and that is the way of collaborative education at the A Collective, which is now renamed Disassembly (https://dis-assembly.ca). I have included my poems here to help understanding so that neurodiverse people can be included in education. One poem is a guide to the neurodivergent city, which applies to accessible education. My language leaks, is synesthetic, and saturates meaning. Will you dance with me?
Education has some good things and school is a different matter of people directing bad ways to control movement about the attention dancing still. Education is about accepting ways of artful contribution of ideas that are shared, having time to think about the ways of concepts and learning about them so we can shift them as we learn more about the world and about the way we need to help each other.
School is about the way control of knowledge is held by teachers and government. Easy learning opens doors, pacing the way of calm acceptance of doing things differently. The way of school does attention harm because the autistic attention is feeling and languages through the body that teachers say is disruptive, but the teachers disrupt the learning that is always happening, and we need good understanding about the way we see and feel each and every thing.
Education is the same when we think that people are all of the same way of thinking and perceiving; the real difference is that neurodiverse people are sensitive to lots of different things. Pace of the always-talking teachers and students is too fast so that I can’t type as quickly, and I think fast so it is frustrating when people talk over me. I am perceiving at such speed it is overwhelming at times and I can’t offer separated words at the slow language pace. I am not a slow-paced thinker. There is a difference between a fast-talking pace and how meaning becomes simplified, which I call slow-paced language because the action of thinking and feeling packs happening all at once. Thinking is always fast in speed and typing about it eddies like water pools and I am thinking faster like rain. I need the feeling of gravity to be settled; support manages the way of typing slowly. Managing the expectation of wanting teachers is pacing actual language and not virtual in the way that thinking and not writing happens. The virtual is the possible. So expression in proper afterthought of language is hard when teachers ask for articulate words that pack meaning into simple explanation. I perceive all at once so I manage by moving my body or holding objects, but the way people see me, the way of leering people, makes me anxious. Then my body moves fast. Good support is key to be settled and also allowing for my body to move. Good support also allows for artful ways of expressing.
I think room of managing a diverse classroom needs the understanding that people are not the same and this can open the pace to sound lining amazing band of jamming bodies and thoughts, questioning the way that school sounds like marching bands and not the jazz of improvisation. I manage magistrate, of doing school, like a falling trombone of bass dropping the sound to play sadness. Actual improvisation is the way of multiple sounds that jump and jive and can sometimes be like a groovy mess of meaningful languaging in the slappy ways of bodies pacing in different rhythms. Slapping is the way of nonviolence in my use of it, of body pacing in body, from one to many; I am good at thinking and that I am slappy like a happy dance.
Think about the middle of relation. The assembly is the collaboration of the middle, of feeling; it is the coming together, the engineering of each edge of existence to pace the pattern teaching us how the relation is always moving. I think that we are, at Disassembly, always of the band in walking together toward laughs and good tools for not sadness but joy. Reading is good to learn about other kinds of people who can join the assembly of tools for some rocking diversity. The way I am easy with learning uses aggregate of the way individuals are always a room of many and we are the future that is always good; for thinking about others as together and about diverse needs and wants traveling, needing more people and different ways of thinking. I think that I face the room; jamming the thoughts together is always the rock and roll of love. Real love is autistic attention dancing and feeling actual sensory reasoning about your way of thinking, but I want to bring answers buttressing the way of love-words to soon feel the calm way of being without the language of talking. Jam with me?
People Who May
May talking be questions

May the people always want
autistics like me
May in the future we all
want each other
May the leaky language
of love bring in the walk
of dancing together
May the sound language
good easy expression

OfWritingAboutFeelingandCumulativeFact
I am going to think about the way of academia
and the way we are supposed to write
I think that I can write racing thinking well
and I am wanting the way of writing
to actual feelings italicize the way
the world faces the pace party
Yes pace party is the way I am laughing
at the dance paving the ways
the words dance
The academy is the serious not
wanting fun of the way the laughter
family of thinking feeling rally lavishes
with love and really we should think
about the ways of desiring
not the ways of measuring people
about going to acting the way
easy people should
I am thinking thankfully at the way
we do things at the A Collective
and talking about ball I always think
needs to unravel questions
about thinking and perceiving
and the way we butter the human
as easy and the same
We need the way the world works
by assembling and disassembling
and the way we do that is by doing
and thinking and playing and saying
that of the way we assemble the movement
of writing about feeling and cumulative fact
of the aggregate experiments in art
Have the wanting academics an idea
pacing the way of real rallying experiments
without a goal of controlling the management
and outcome?
I think that the way actual face of relation
works has to have game of chance
and the camp in the way the people
can stay with each other in difference
and the way fragments variety sacrifice
the bossy sameness of what academy
seems to expect
The thanking audience of the rare
dappers the questions about the wanting future
of writing and the easy future for neurodiversity
The ways of dancing
the way of neurodiversity
is not the same rally
as academic critique
and we need pace
of accumulating steps
of wording walks pacing
movement with the ways
of wanting objects
and inspirations
The way of the sawing
wanting dance invites
paces will talking people
thank open thinking
about the possibilities?
My guide for someone to discover the neurodivergent city:
I would calmly tell
the story about being
timed pace
of the easy engineered amazing talker
without speech and the way the city
smells a meaningful tongue of
additive salty ram book of
autistic and sensory rally
landing the answers about
good neurodiverse city
The objects are calling me
to them as the way we are
languaging the wanting movement
and idea of the calm feeling is the waters
landing making less ran
love to the same place
of trees and terrific feeling
Bring the safe good typing to the neurodiverse city
Bring the good support of having good facilitators
I am also a facilitator of basic understanding
of different easy ways
of patterning and pasturing
and thinking with the earth
I am good at knowing about the facilitation
and watching the way
measures are in in in place
of how independence is
about the person and not
about the people
I am good at relating to objects in movement
and walking the city
of moving parts is flaneur
of neurodiversity
Game in in in the ways of human superiority
offers us little to manage
with and I am baffled
by the easy invested game
of humanity
