A popular pastime during the summer is to go to the beach, to lie
out in the sun, maybe splash around in the water. That is something that
is viewed as enjoyable and relaxing by so many, but what do people on the
spectrum think about going to the beach? In my case, I don't find going
to the beach very enjoyable, not the way I viewed it as a kid. Growing
up, I liked to play in the surf and pretend that the soft sand right on the
waterline was quicksand, and that my toys were in peril. I also liked to
throw piles of mud at toy boats to try to get them to sink.
Now that I'm twenty four, going to the beach is not as enjoyable.
The sand is always to hot, the sun is too bright, and I'm not the kind of
person who enjoys horsing around in the water. I might
play Frisbee-catch with my younger brother or sit on the beach with a
book, but nothing more than that. It has probably been a year and a half
since I last went to the beach, when I was camping August 2010 with my family.
Of course, others on the spectrum might view the beach experience
differently than me. This account is just one of the many accounts made
by individuals on the spectrum. What are your thoughts about the beach
experience?
