Best and Most Beautiful Things Page #3

and I feel like other

people's ignorance

should not be my burden to bear.

I should be able to be myself.

I'm not hurting anyone,

and there's so many people

who are trained to work

with people with disabilities

telling me, "You will

never be a real adult."

People are always gonna talk

to you like you're a child,"

and so when we were

at that meeting and I said,

"Is there any way

I could get a new cane,

"or is there anywhere

that I can go

to get a new cane,"

I wasn't telling him,

"Get me a cane now,"

and then you went,

"Puh, puh, puh, puh, puh,"

that was, like,

the final straw in my head

of all the condescension

and patronizing stuff,

and so, yeah,

I kind of blew up at you,

and I know I prob...

I probably could've dealt

with it better,

but it just kind of, like,

was the final straw for me.

OK, and... and I will...

I will just tell you

where I'm coming from

because I certainly

didn't mean to hurt

your feelings.

Um, it's...

it's not you.

It's the autism speaking,

and so I don't take

anything personally.

Spencer, voice-over: Her world

is so small, the knowledge

that she is lacking

between the vision loss

and not seeing everything

that goes on

but then also because

of the autism...

that neurological, mental,

whatever you want to call it...

she doesn't get it,

and that's why I don't see her

as being totally independent.

I just don't.

It feels like she

looks at your condition

in black or white.

You're either

perfectly independent

and you know everything

or you don't know anything

and are not capable

of living alone.

Yeah.

No, but that's

what's being insinuated,

and I don't... and I don't

really appreciate it.

That's... that's

what you're reading into it,

and we've... and we've had

this conversation many times.

It's not...

You're not...

you're not going to

convince me that I...

that I should go and

go to basketball games.

I know it sounds rude

because I know Jordn's,

like, in it and

everything, but...

Jordn gets a lot

of playing time now.

Like, he's the starter.

I can't tell who

is he out there.

You never tried to

convince me to do...

to go to any sport...

any sporting events

for, like, the last

5 years of my life,

and I don't think

that makes me...

I don't think that

makes me a bad person.

It's not about making

you a bad person.

It's just supporting

your brother.

I'm not saying at all

that, hey, you should

become a sports fan because...

Imagine if you can...

if... if all you can do

is hear, rrr!,

squeak, squeak,

squeak, squeak,

squeak, aah!,

people screaming, and

you... there's no input.

It's just loud, loud,

offending sounds

to your ears and you

have to sit there

for two hours on a hard bench

listening to that while

everyone around you

is all excited and you

just feel left out

and slightly uncomfortable

and you feel like

you're supposed to feel

like you're supportive

but you don't.

That's the rest of us, too.

That's the rest of your group?

Oh, OK. The rest

with them.

They're with them.

Wow.

Because you guys

are all set, OK?

You're all set.

Oh, my God.

Hey, you.

Hi.

Nice to see you.

Yeah.

And at center, a junior,

number 52... Jordn Smith.

All right, Jordn!

Now introducing the

home team for tonight's game...

your Bucksport Golden Bucks.

Starting at guard, senior,

number 4... Josh Gray.

Whose broad stripes

and bright stars

Through the perilous...

Here we go! Whoo!

"Hello. There are a few things

I need to get out of the way"

"before I start prattling on

about myself and my interests."

"I'm legally blind, and I have

Asperger syndrome.

"This has seriously

turned some people off.

"Some people have

the misconception that,

"because I have

dis... disabilities,

"that means I can't consent.

"I'm actually a very fun,

friendly, accepting,

"and... and approachable person.

"I'm curious about all kinds

of age play...

"sexual, nonsexual, dark,

light and fluffy, and more.

"When I first got into

this lifestyle,

"I was convinced that no one

would want to play

"with some blind chick.

I'm so happy I was wrong."

Now, this is a word

you never say.

Michelle, voice-over:

This... this is my first

real relationship as an adult.

Really, I can't see it.

Can you see this, too?

I still can't see it.

How about now?

Michelle, voice-over: It's very

sort of special relationship,

and, um, it's kind of hard

to explain it.

"Fluff shoes"?

"F... fuddlesh..."

Oh, "fiddlesticks."

"Fuddle shoes"?

Ha ha ha!

"Fuddle shoes."

Michelle, voice-over: We're both

very, very open-minded.

It's... it's a great feeling.

It really is.

"Fuddle shoe."

Ha ha ha!

That's the best thing ever.

Want to do rock,

paper, scissors?

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

Dang it.

Yay.

I get to go first.

Whoo! OK.

You're gonna find some

really weird stuff in there.

OK. Oh, it's a train.

It's a train.

Oh, my goodness, it's a train.

Oh, which train?

Rheneas!

Yes.

Yay! Rheneas!

Here we go, here

we go, here we go.

No, we don't,

no, we don't

No, we don't, don't, don't

All right. There's

one more thing

in the bottom, and it

feels kind of heavy.

That... that one

will require

a little bit of context.

Oh, my goodness, what...

Oh, you...

you found it.

Ay, oh, is it a flogger?

It is.

Oh, my goodness.

Hang on. It looks

a little crooked.

Let me try to straighten it out.

No. You're just

going to...

you're just going to

hit... hit me with it.

Yeah. I...

Thank you.

Michelle, voice-over:

Ooh, BDSM, it's, like,

uh, this taboo thing.

There are lots of different ways

that people choose to be

dominant or submissive.

I sort of see it

as an adventure.

It's not about, like, abuse

or anything like that.

It's about you hand over

your free will.

You hand o... you have

so much trust in that person

that you... you can hand over

your free will to them and say,

"You are now in control of me,"

and it's... it's very liberating,

and it's very amazing feeling.

Some people might be like,

"Ew, that's weird.

That's gross,"

but it's really not.

It's an alternative lifestyle.

It's a different kind

of relationship.

It's very special to us.

What are we gonna do

about L.A., Michelle?

Like, I would just kill

to just drop everything,

go out to L.A.,

pursue my dreams

as a computer scientist-

slash-voice actor, but...

Um, cat. Cat.

I, uh...

Kitty.

Ah!

Ooh! Sorry.

Ooh! Uh, cat...

The... the way

I see it is, um,

it's so far away and our

relationship is so new

that we can't say for definite,

but we're hoping

to move to L.A.

Hopefully, that works out

the way I want it to.

Uh, I need more hangers.

Then again, I have a lot

of jeans on those hangers

that I never wear

and that don't fit me,

so there are options.

What are you looking

under my bed for?

That's not something

you should be seeing.

I was worried you'd

find those one day.

Honey, it's about to be...

It looks like a strap to a...
