Letter to the Boston Bruins Organization

February 17, 2016December 2, 2021Steven

I’ve written a letter and send it via parcel letter to my favorite hockey team, the Boston Bruins. The original letter is attached (with the actual text of the letter shown in alternate text.)

Header is the Clickford & Company letterhead and the company's logo feature on the bottom. Text: Boston Professional Hockey Association, Inc. D/b/a: the Boston Bruins 100 Legends Way, Boston, Massachusetts 02114 To Whom It May Concern: My name is Steven and I’m a resident of New Hampshire and wanting to reach out to my favorite hockey team, the Boston Bruins. I’ve been a fan of the team for more than a decade. I admire professional hockey, the strength and the job they do. I say this because I was never really an athletic person, something I don’t have first hand knowledge and I had no interest in sports till I was in my late teens. In my current situation I am a weak individual. I’m in a point of my life where I consider myself a “hopeless autistic.” I was born with an autistic disorder, and was non verbal in my younger years, had great years in elementary school not so much in middle and high school. I’ve had a family that has fallen apart over my early lifespan, I’ve lost a lot of friends being diverted to various school programs as a teenager and I was in a system where I did not have a luxury to have as much services and support unlike others much younger than I am. I finished school on my 21st birthday nearly 8 years ago suddenly loosing services, then had to wait nearly over a year and a half to receive adult services. Despite having a stronger support system, I’m still “limping” around in life. In southern New Hampshire, there is hardly any services for any adults on the autism spectrum disorder. Almost entirely the services are intended for children. Some individuals are suffering a multitude of difficulties and often the professionals, the experts and services are often too late to address the first generation who basically had nothing and the younger generation has everything. I’m almost turning a year before I hit thirty. I’ve gone nowhere in my twenties because the special needs support system is still broken to a certain extent. I try everything to contribute to society only to be trapped in a four wall glass enclosed telephone booth, possibly made out of granite material. I can’t seem to break the barrier. I’ve had such a rough year in 2015, that I’ve declared myself a “hopeless autistic” because I don’t see much hope.

I’ve admired the Bruins and especially in the 2011 Stanley Cup Championship season, I was lucky to photograph, the training session the previous summer, the preseason game of that year and the parade where Captain Zdeno Chara held the Cup – where I sensory overload of crowds, noise and hot/humid climates was put to the test that day the Cup came to Boston. I also wore on Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Championship one of my first shirts that I got of the Boston Bruins about 5 years before, I felt that was a lucky shirt and I have not worn it since the Bruins won Game 7. I’d love it to be autographed by the team. In anyway, I’m in a very difficult situation in my life. No other disease or disorder is so political or so divisive even stating I’m “hopeless” may offend my population or other parties. I’ve not been honest with what I want or need, and I feel it will kill me - literally if I keep things inside me, which is one of the reasons why I am reaching out to your organization.
