The Autistic SuperTumblr!

My name is Brian Liston, but I also like to call myself the Autistic Superkid, it's like my calling card. Those who know me know what I'm capable of. Some words that have been used to describe me are talented, open minded, considerate, insightful, inquizitive, passionate to the point of perfectionist, etc. Beneath all that, however, I'm a very friendly person who values both his family and his friends. His poems have been in Chronogram, the Post Star, the Awakening among others. His signature poem, The Autistic Superkid, was published in Riverine: An Anthology of Hudson Valley Writers. He has been a featured reader in the Hudson Valley, most notably the defunct Cross Street Atelier, The Cubbyhole in Poughkeepsie and the Colony Cafe in Woodstock.

(Repost) Poetry Packed Out: An Artists' Greatest Quality

If there’s one thing that life, and certainly this Coronavirus chaos, has shown me, Dear Readers, it’s that we can adapt, we can change (perhaps, pivot?) things that might seem like a setback into an opportunity. We can make the best of a bad situation, we can push events forward, even in the worst of times. If there’s a group of people that can do this for a fact and make it seem effortless, in…

(Repost) Poetry Packed Out: A Poem for An Empty Chair

I’m sure that we all miss something or someone, especially in the past year. We’re all missing a special event, a death of a loved one, vacations, adventures, and everything else. I know, Dear Readers, that this year has been tough challenging, to say the very least. It’s been a year filled of uncertainties, unknowns, vagueness and just chaos. I know that that feels as if I’m downplaying things,…

(Reposted Again) Being Quirky Can’t Be all bad...

Let me be clear on this point: You should be allowed to be free to be yourself, without any excuses. I know that I mentioned that I’d talk about quirks in an earlier post, mostly when I mentioned how much I saw myself in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’s Starlight Glimmer, Maud and Mudbriar and this is that post… The thing is, for me, I think in pictures, like Dr. Temple Grandin and a lot of…

She really is a wonderful friend, very well…
