I do sometimes ponder this.

People Love To Ask Invasive Questions About My Son's Autism. These Are The Only Ones I'll Answer. "I’ve never liked talking about my son’s autism with other people."

I’ve learned more about being a better advocate for my son, through the questions children have been kind enough to ask.

Name a non-musical movie with a dance scene or musical number.

make art! if it's the end of the world, you might as well make art! if it's not the end of the world, then the future will be better because people made art right now!

the world sucks so bad right now that it’s hard to know where to begin - but here’s one thing you can do, if there’s room in your heart and home 👇
