Hope of Getting a Voice

Puts me back to 

Feeling then

Especially with the song.

Truly willed same hope 

I had when starting

Throughout fear of 

Getting friends.

I made them.

I hoped to express myself

How I saw myself.

Essentially what

I dreamed of came true.

Only thanks to Brian

And Kaegan.

Truly grateful.

I was terrified 

It would end.

I loved getting thoughts

Out to the world.

Truly was my 

Greatest dream.

Joshua Greiner

My name is Joshua Greiner. I am a non-speaking autistic man. 

My mouth doesn’t work to talk. I started learning to spell to communicate when I was 13 years old. It is impossible to really control my body. Most of my life, people didn’t know I was intelligent because I couldn’t speak. The interior is the opposite of the exterior in the people with autism. 

​I’m testing a high level of hope in the world. I believe in kindness, respect and love for everyone. It really helps to uplift the hopes of people with autism. They deserve to be given the kindness of people just like everyone else.

I primarily enjoy spending time in nature. I love the hopeful insights I get when surrounded by the trees. To go to the mountains or the beach are my church. God is there quietly listening to my thoughts for people to be kind.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my words.
