I've been away for a while from here, but I'm back to say this: until tonight, I had no idea there was such a term called "Autism Warrior Parents." As I read about these parents, I can't agree with this idea. They see autism as a battle to "cure" autism. If they see it that way, they will lose. Big.

I accidentally discovered that the Autism Warrior Parents (the ones who want to defeat their children’s Autistic traits) actually really loved RFK’s speech because it helped them β€œfinally feel seen for the first time in years”…

I should not be surprised.

This, doesn’t feel like a win to me.

Nik Kershaw, "Wouldn't It Be Good" - A lot of the feelings in this song are really relevant right now.

I feel this. I wasn't aware of autism, let alone Asperger's, until I was 25. Being bullied by kids and melting down from time to time should have been a clue. There've been times where outside of my family, I had little to no support. I have my family and wonderful friends. And they understand.

This is the same guy who got chummy with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon, and called his own party "toxic" - not buying anything Newsom says.

Thinking of two great Rochester theater artists who left us in the last few days - Connie Neer and Don Bartalo. Both of them were great actors and fellow supporters of the Rochester theater community. My love and support to their families and many friends who loved them both <3

Alabama community turns out to support bullied autistic boy
YouTube video by CBS Sunday Morning Alabama community turns out to support bullied autistic boy

To an autistic child in Alabama, a rainbow isn't about making a statement. It's just a rainbow. But a bully disagreed.

Then the child's mom made a request, and what happened next is a great example of love trumping hate - pun definitely intended. Enjoy.

Here's something different to post, not theater or politically related...

If you were stranded on a desert island, what would your desert island album be?

Mine would be Hats by The Blue Nile - an introspective, cinematic masterpiece of an album from 1989. It's absolutely epic.

Not only does the government not know, but apparently it seems half the country doesn't have a problem with it either. I can't agree with you more on those "non-scientific half wits" - you are so right on, Dave.

VACCINES. DO. NOT. CAUSE. AUTISM.

Bruce Cockburn - The Trouble With Normal
YouTube video by ThePolaroidMan Bruce Cockburn - The Trouble With Normal

I have admired the music of Bruce Cockburn for years, I've seen him twice in concert (and will see him again in Rochester in May). But the man is a musical prophet, because he wrote and sang songs that predicted what was coming. This song is one of them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiTT...

Hands down, his final solo in Comfortably Numb - studio or live, especially PULSE.

I stopped posting on X after Elon took it over, because I knew it was going to be a disaster. Those who still post there are either beholden to Elon or their heads may be under quicksand.
