Rambling movement is how I feel my way through to language so the way opens the man of autism's meaning for many ways of understanding. Good languaging is making the pace of things that I feel and open the somatic walking to that way of flooding the questions, rallying man of autism's moving language. Go to the places that binge on diversity and think about how language defines identity and you will understand instead what language means.
I open the world to think about gaming the space. We invite you into this languaging site. Click on snails, and move your way through to feel the way of neurodiversity.

We cannot prescribe how to move with this. Here is anti-prescription, no pre-determiened form but a way we play and move and think in relation. Move and language with neurodiversity in relation. Move with us, twallow (Wolfond) with sticks, water thoughts like rain, scatter like trombones honking the sound of yellow. Waves-ways the paths that pack the ball of thinking back into sentences, poetry, form. Click here, there and wayfare. Fernand Delingy once said that he does not have an aim. His arachnean way anchors and moves again, dis-assembling at every turn. We bring you to the fractals, the experience of dis-orientation, the busy visual fields that must move and blur to move and snake tendrils along to move; the way neurodiversity moves and sees, particularly conveyed by relanguaging of linearity and fixed orientation in the way that “rationality”, articulateness, and intelligence is supposed to represent, outside of experience. These can be called the “normative” or neurotypical ways of writing and “seeing”, explaining: “what do you mean by that?” Excessive parsing, excising experience in linear forms and self-same shapes. Instead, we invite you to feel what collects en route, pathing new experiences and understandings; fusing otherwise separated phenomenon – proprioception, synesthesia, relation – back together again: “packing ball of thinking” (Wolfond). “Bathing” in it, we invite you in, to participate, play and be in relation with us, with neurodiverse ways – “the wanting ways” (Wolfond) of desire, joy, “treasuring” them and rethinking neurodiversity in relation.
dis assembly: A Neurodiverse Arts Collective www.dis-assembly.ca
We are a collaborative and supportive arts collective dedicated to neurodiversity and affirmative, creative activity to shift the field of research creation, support conditions for neurodiversity, to rethink support and collaboration, and to create networks for mutual support, inventing our own ways for living. We invite you to join us as we celebrate the opening of our new studio at Artscape Youngplace with two upcoming events, free and open to the public:
Open Studio Saturday December 4th 2021, noon-3pm Artscape Youngplace, 180 Shaw St. Studio 109, Toronto Covid Protocols: Attendees are requested to present proof of vaccination, and remain masked while inside the Artscape Youngplace building.
Join Adam Wolfond, a non-speaking autistic poet/writer with Dr. Estée Klar, director of dis assembly: a neurodiverse arts collective. They will be joined by artist Ellen Bleiwas a collaborator at dis assembly, and poets and mentors of neurodivergent poets at Unrestricted Interest Chris Martin and Aviv Nisinzweig, to discuss how processual artistic practices support conditions for neurodiverse ways of creation and being.

Yes I Ache to Answer the Call (a manifesto of yes)
The call of the talking people to answer about autism is one I avoid
like the way people avoid me in all my autistic wonder
Say yes to pacing my way
Say yes to pacing the way of the atmospheres
Say yes to the way of bathing in neurodiverse ways
Say yes to the way of difference
Say yes to the good movements that are stims and tics the way open atmospheres calm my needs
Say yes the way I do to the other people who ask me to peacefully understand them needing support
Say yes to sour candy
Easy ways to say yes are the ways of love and openness to all types of doing and being and peaceful ways pacing others call the ways to say yes
Say yes to the languaging that comes with the atmospheres and the movement
Say yes to the very reasons of non-reason
Say yes to the wanting sounds that hum without words
Say yes to inspiring art that makes deeper tankful thinking to be in autistic perception
Say yes to thinking about how same ways of cadence is not the face of thinking but a myth of how we should face each other
Say yes to socializing with the home of things and the things that feel pleasing
Game the yes like the game of no but the calm yes is the way of making pace of movement the agency of the dance itself not the age-appropriate agency of the way we should consent and the way to say yes is always with love not the way of force and that way is the way we need to question the consent and not the disabled person
The waning way of language is the mobility to walk in ways that flood the senses like when I make people think much about names of things because things
are more open through their relations and that language’s varied rambling connections that game movement and having the pace always
brings different meanings. Rambling movement is how I feel my way through to language so the way opens the man of autism’s meaning for many
ways of understanding. Good languaging is making the pace of things that I feel and open the somatic walk to that way of flooding the questions
rallying man of autism’s moving language. Gaming genders are like making dances of man of autism’s feelings about being about
masculinity when we all have different energies that know bringing the should to the movement. Vatican of religion is the suppression of movement and I think all domination
must ease for the life to live as it dances. Go to the places that binge on diversity and think about how language defines identity
and you will understand what languaging instead means.
Bringing the Rallying Feeling Together
The thinking is pacing language of nature that is languaging the way we live in the world. Language is my answer to the way pace if it moves like the affects jumps in my mind body.
Having good city of noises and very calm breezes are like game of feeling and rally of atmospheres. Game of the easy rally is like the inspiring unconscious.
Varied man paces the multiplicity making sense of rallying atmospheres like bathing currents that sometimes dance with me. Go to the man of autism’s movements to feel the multiplicity that names having tics a pathology but that is the weak way to think
about autism because it thinks that sensing is about language of categories and in that I eagerly want the people to know that I sense more than feeling and pace is feeling the rally that is the moving multiplicity. The multiplicity has
open ingredients like names of need in which the language can’t capture but making bathing baking dance must move buttressing face of the need to care and to live. The naming of need and support
does not jump into the favorite languaging of forces that move us and I easily feel rally like the way mean calm good hate love bathes to gether because making chance of me can remember the amazing
ways the call to feel can be and the walks that assemble long paces that the world is full of. The chance is the making the way easy changes can vary and the way paces are god naming
the call to rally with the easy earth and the god I name is the feeling. Feeling is the waiting the risk walking together being together gaming together and pacing the easy rally making together.
