CHANGE. My Dad always taught me it was the only thing we could count on in life. I adapted to that train of thought quite easily. It made perfect sense to me. We are born, changing and growing everyday until we cease to exist. So yeah, change. We are connected to it on

This is AutismHWY.com's biggest wish for the new year. More minds open to learning inside information about Autism from Autistic people themselves. Without all of the resistance. Sometimes occurring on both sides of understanding. A lot has happened since 2010 when we set out on this virtual journey reaching out to the positive side of Autistic culture. Intending to

Quite a distinction..... When activists demand that "charitable" organizations (namely Autism Speaks) STOP bad-mouthing the lives of Autistic people and their families to create "action"... a funny thing happens.

Empathy, just how much should we have...? Empathy. When are we too empathetic? When are we not empathetic enough? Is empathy based on pure emotion, complete pragmatism or, a delicate combination of the two? How do we compare, quantify and contrast the empathy we feel? What about the empathy other people think

After my last blog post "The New Scarlet letter" I was accused of going on an attack. Really?! Let's examine the definition of the WORD attack: 1. To set upon with violent force. NO, most definitely NOT. 2. To criticize strongly or in a hostile manner. Well, Yes, yes I did. 3.
