My daughter who is blind and has Asperger Syndrome, which she calls "her gift," writes music and lyrics...well, she composes the music, but writing stuff down is hard enough without also having to use the music Braille code. It's like using French only to read and write music. Anyway, here is a snatch:
"Once...
I woke up this morning with the music from the musical Annie running through my head. I am not music addict. I do not understand my wifes collection of records, tapes, and cds. I think I can count the number I have purchased on one hand. I do not own an Ipod. I usually listen to motivational or instructional cds in the car. Although I enjoy...

Read e-mail, just after getting here to the Kelley Library to "update" my new BLOG. Had to "run around" in my Ute this morning because my little brother wanted his darn cup of Dunkin Doughnuts Coffee, & needed me to go to the Shaw's Supermarket here in town for more groceries. Lunch for me, was that I "finished...
I just received a nice comment about my profile photo, which was taken just 2 weeks ago at Discovery Cove in Orlando. We knew our other kids would love all the theme parks of Orlando but wanted to make sure that our son Zach had at least one good experience to look back on, so we booked a day at Discovery Cove.
Zach really enjoyed the...

I do not know if this is exceptionally "unusual", but I truly "feel safer" & "less anxious", if I "make times" for mutely hugging soft plush cuddle animal friends. I also need to "stim" via manipulating "baby rattles" & other "colorful" "Infant toys" that...
On Tuesday March 31 Michael John Anderson was deemed to be guilty by a jury of his peers or was he ?
You might not know who Michael John Anderson is and you might go on living your life without ever knowing his signifcance to your life and you might never discover his essential connection to you. However if I were to identify him with a...

This morning, I guess I made a "social mistake", talking to my little brother, after I got myself cleaned up, diapered & dressed for the day. I told him, that "I as an autistic adult, never experience 'dirty bad dreams' @ night or during the day". I was as usual, in my own "truth-bound thinking" mode, as an...

Today has been a day to do some video shooting for myself. I drove down in my Ute to the Museum of Science in Boston, & I shot 90" worth of "raw" video footage of exhibits & science demonstrations, to put into a TV show for Derry, NH CATV Public Access TV @ a later date. Other than that, not much else has happened. I did...
