  1. What wonderful words. Thank you for sharing from your heart Brent. Yes your dad is quite intimidating to us really shy coworkers. LOL – Haved loved you Hegwood’s for a long, long time!

    1. Brent- Thank you so much for sharing this list of 10 things you wish people knew… it was incredibly helpful for me to learn more from your perspective. You are an awesome guy and I wish you the very best at everything you do!! 🙂

  2. I love your blog! I’m going to share it with my son that has Aspergers. We have some deep conversations that seem similar to how you think! Thanks for sharing.

  3. Brent,

    Those were inspiring words. This blog will give us a better understanding of what you have endured. With the support and tolerance of the ones you love, it is always fantastic to see how much a fine young man you have become.

    I will never forget my first Calculus BC class, and seven years later, I feel like a pro. It has been a true blessing to have you and your brother in my class and stop by some time (after things get drastically better) at Kingwood Park. So much had changed when you left. Keep in touch.

  4. Brent,
    I first met you when you were a 6th grader. You were randomly assigned to me to keep an eye on as your ‘case manager’. I came to know your parents very well through many meetings over your years in middle school. I was in the background of your School life, and I’m not even really sure if you would know who I am if we passed on the street.

    I especially appreciate your story, as my brothers nephew has been diagnosed on the Autism spectrum. Understanding what life is like from your perspective helps me give his parents guidance to get him through school, and life!

    Keep up the great work!

    ~~Ms Brandon

  5. Keep writing Brent! You are gifted in so many ways! I’ve known you most of your life and had so many “Aha!” moments reading your blog. Best wishes on this wonderful new adventure.

  6. I love you writing style. You have a great talent for expressing yourself and how you view the world. Thank you for sharing.

  7. Brent, wonderful blog.
    You have wisdom far ahead of your age.
    You put into words some of the great thoughts that are in your head.
    With the help of your loving parents and friends you have become a wonderful young man.
    God has blessed you with a great talent.

  8. You did an amazing job of putting this into words for us to understand, amazing!

  9. Hey Brent! I’m starting from the beginning and plan on reading all of your posts this weekend! Amazing writing my friend.
    I remember when we first met you and your family. You wanted so much to play with Morgan! She was so little, and you were so big! Your Mom worked with you on how to approach Mo, and the next thing we know, she’s sitting next to you on the piano bench while you play the piano for her! One of my VERY favorite memories of the two of you! Keep up the great work, Brent. You are an amazing young man and I’ve learned so much from you over the years!

    1. Mrs. Roux,

      Thank you for your opinions. I hope you enjoy my writings. I try to post them every Thursday.

      This blog is honestly an outlet for my views on life, and I hope it can give people a bit of insight into what I’m like.

  10. Brent, being able to read your perspective is not only informative, but such a treasure for all to learn. Well written!

  11. Hello, I do believe your site could be having internet browser compatibility issues.

    Whenever I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in I.E., it’s got some overlapping issues.
    I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
    Besides that, great website!

  12. Wow, wonderful blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
    you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your web site is
    fantastic, as well as the content!

  13. Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so
    I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly
    enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to
    everything. Do you have any tips and hints for
    newbie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

  14. At this time it appears like Drupal is the best blogging platform out
    there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you
    are using on your blog?

  15. Its such as you learn my thoughts! You appear to grasp a lot approximately this, such as you
    wrote the guide in it or something. I believe that you could do with some
    percent to power the message house a bit, but other than that, that is excellent blog.
    A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.
