About Me

As of 2023, I am turning 15 years old. I am a student at Mountain View High School in their Lifeskills program. I am the son of James & Sarah Carner of Bend, Oregon. I am gentle towards others, shy and love to go on drives with dad in our CamperVan. I also love bouncing houses and air mattresses. I giggle when they blow up and then release air. My parents love me very much and are doing eveything they can do make my life easier.

The below button is my blog where my dad records my daily routines, adventures and things that I struggle with being deaf and autstic. My dad thinks this website will help the entire team of special care workers communcate better as they will have full access to my life and medical hisotry all in one place.

More About Me

I am profoundly deaf. And because I can’t hear, I am grateful because strange or loud sounds can give autistic people anxiety. However, I am sad because I only know around 80 words in ASL and can sign back about 30 words. This lack of communication makes it difficult for me to get what I want.

 My parents work really hard to provide me an education, but my spectrum anxiety prevents me from learning a lot. In fact, I learn about 1 – 2 words a year in sign language. This doesn’t mean I don’t know sign or putting sentences together. I really understand more than what is being presented to me. My brain wants to communicate more but my body simply refuses to cooperate.

But don’t feel sorry for me. Just because I am different than you doesn’t mean I am not happy. For the most part, I love life and the marvelous world that I was born into. I do get sad and cry sometimes but it’s not you or the world. It’s because I can’t control my body with my thoughts.
