I Have Not Made Love My Head God

STORY OF MY LIFE PT. 28 BY JAKE MCCLINTICK 10/25/19

Not always had such loving thoughts about God.  Had great anger most my life. Not sure autism most God mean to let me experience.

Now, I having loving perspective.  To not have hate still hard sometimes.  Not easy to change, I have hate habits.  Have to get Holy Spirit to help me keep my God focus.

Nice being able to stop having hate in my heart.  Have to still work on my thoughts.  Most of time have hate thoughts I have to make myself have a better, healthier working story my life.

Really love getting better thoughts.  Has not meaned to have hateful life, God loves me. Autism has nothing to do with so much my lies try to tell me. Have love for my head God is much healthier. (He kisses his hand). Have most happier soul having God my truth.

 

Jake McClintick is now 23 years old and has been learning to communicate using a letterboard since age 18. Learning the process of using a letterboard through the Rapid Prompting Method (RPM) was a gradual process that took several years. We are still working on expanding RPM and Jake’s confidence/skills beyond our “work sessions.” 

Regardless, this low-tech alternative communication system has been an answered prayer for us both. At the age of 22 he began expressing his very personal thoughts and feelings more fluently with me (his mom), and it was his idea to begin writing “The Story of My Life” one day.  This was his 26th entry to that story. He is diagnosed with severe autism as well as intermittent explosive disorder.

He has given me permission to share his story and our conversations. He continually expresses his desire to “find purpose” to his life…I hope his willingness to share will help others learn about this misunderstood condition known as “autism” that has so much to teach us all.
