Background

About Brian Liston

My name is Brian Liston, but I also like to call myself the Autistic Superkid. 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, inquisitive, passionate to the point of perfectionist. Beneath all that, however, I'm a very friendly person who values both his family and his friends. A graduate of The Center for Spectrum Services, Saugerties High School and SUNY Ulster, my poems have been in Chronogram, and my signature poem, The Autistic Superkid, was published in Riverine: An Anthology of Hudson Valley Writers as well as my own chapbook, Through Autistic Eyes. Along with my work at Price Chopper and volunteering, I have 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, the Mudd Puddle and the Woodstock Poetry Society. I also document my life experiences on my blog, The Autistic SuperBlog, which I started in 2017 in the hopes to inspire and encourage others who are struggling.
