Dear World

By Ryan Curry




DEAR WORLD,

I AM RYAN CURRY.  EACH DAY I’M MAKING A CHOICE.  EACH DAY A STUPID BODY DOESN’T MIND A BRAIN.

AUTISTICS, YOUR LONELINESS DOES NOT WITHSTAND TIME.  I NOW AM ABLE TO SPEAK MOSTLY BY WORDS.

EVERYONE ELSE, OPEN YOUR MIND TO US.  SHOW US YOU RESPECT US. EACH INSTANCE ON YOUR TIME IS JUST AS EQUIVALENT AS MINE.

I WANT TO WISH MY MOM MY DEAREST THANKS, FOR EACH DAY IS BETTER TEACHING ME RPM.



Ryan is eight years old and lives in San Jose, California with his family.  Ryan’s RPM journey began in January 2014.  He has attended several workshops with different RPM providers and he works daily with his mom at home doing lessons.  Ryan began with making paper choices, moved to three stencils (A-I), (J-R), and (S-Z), then moved to two stencils (A-O) and (P-Z), and now uses a rolled letter board with all 26 letters on it (which can be folded in two for A-O and P-Z) and he also uses a flat board with 26 letters on it to spell out his thoughts. 


Ryan’s interests include zoo animals (especially zebras), praying, and having the Bible read to him.  Ryan is interested in learning about maps and the planet Earth.  Ryan states that he wants to be treated equal despite his autism.

  3. Thank you to Lisa and Philip for allowing Ryan to be a guest blogger on their amazing page. We often use posts from this page for our daily RPM lessons. Each day, I look forward to seeing "what's next" from the two of you. Thank you for changing our lives for the better and for inspiring so many.
