  • I Just Learned My Child Is Autistic, What Now? – Autism

    I try very hard to not let folks I meet when with my son know that he is Autistic. Even so, I have told more than a few people this was the case to make them aware for one reason or another. Most of the time, the result is all but a sympathetic “There, there! […]

  • More on the Spectrum – Autism

    Sometime in the not-too-distant past, I had a discussion with a relative on Facebook in which we talked about the various “designations” applied to Autistic folks. The individual in question is considered to be mildly Autistic (to the degree that she was able to go through her entire childhood without a diagnosis), my son, Garrett, […]

  • Be Not Disheartened – Autism

    I have said before, that it is entirely possible I am mildly Autistic. I have never been diagnosed, but since having to deal with a moderately Autistic boy (my six year old), I’ve come to notice some striking similarities in his “condition” and my past. Whether or not I am Autistic, the one thing I […]

  • But Should I Post This On Facebook – Religion and Politics

    Matthew 15 10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this […]

  • No, It’s Not the Same – Autism

    There are a couple of traits that the majority of humanity—at least among the folks I have known in the course of time—seem to have somewhat in common. They are, a desire to find similarities, and a tendency towards “one-upmanship.” These two tendencies, frankly, make it that much harder to explain Autism to folks who […]

  • Things Are Not People – Religion And Politics

    You would think the title of this article would be sufficient to “snap a bunch of folks out of” a behavior I have noticed appears to be becoming more and more prevalent over the course of time. That behavior is to treat things as if they were people. I can understand when people ascribe the […]

  • Yes, Chances Are Good They Already Know – Religion And Politics

    Anybody having read any of the blog posts I have taken the time to craft is probably aware that I typically take somewhere in the neighborhood of a thousand words for each article. I do this for a number of reasons. The first reason is, I know that the average person is not “up for” […]

  • How Long Has That Been Happening? – Religion and Politics

    An unfortunate reality surrounding someone being placed in a position of authority, is that he or she is best served by not making “radical changes” on short notice. I’m not saying folks never do this, nor am I saying that when they do so, the results are invariably bad. I’m simply saying that, for the […]

  • Pets Versus People – Religion and Politics

    It’s difficult for me to imagine a less useful thing, than to make fun of, or belittle those who love their pets—whatever type of pet they may be. I assure you that I have no intent so to do. It is more than a little understandable that people form bonds with critters of various kinds. […]

  • Robin Hood – Religion and Politics

    We’ve all heard the name, fictional though it is, and to so many, he is a hero—Robin Hood. In reality though Mr Hood is anything but a hero. In fact he sounds a great deal more like government than about anything else for which one might mistake him. The primary difference being that government takes […]
