Ride The Wave

~ Clearly Muddled Blog ~

I grew up in San Diego, California, one block from the beach. Specifically, I lived in Pacific Beach and had sand in my toes just about everyday…unless I was busy breaking bones or getting a concussion doing some other activity.

“Ride the wave” was a phrase that was just part of my vocabulary, and it meant getting my surf board in position to take off, right in the sweet spot when the curl breaks and I was in the tube. Whether I stayed up or toppled over, I was looking for the next wave immediately. The distance (and time) between the rideable waves is called the wavelength. That was important to know, because if I didn’t get out there in time I’d miss the next chance to ride the wave.

Josh took the idea that all things are a wave (or pattern) of movement, whether light, sound, radio, matter, emotional, or senses. He said there’s a thing called a flash bang that causes extreme disorientation by overloading a persons hearing and vision – it temporarily causes those senses to fail. The charge is a shock to the system, with too much change to adjust to in too short a span of time.

BOOM! He just used science to describe Autism, as he experiences it. That’s a wave of brilliance.
