  • How Do Most People Recognize Autism? Short Answer, “They Don’t!”

    My son is a “party mooch.” I doubt seriously that this is a thing commonly said about moderately Autistic children, but it’s certainly true for Garrett. Sometime in the last year (his fifth), we were in a local park. There was an “event” going on there, that was for the children of the staff of […]

  • Tit-For-Tat

    I will be the first to acknowledge that people—whether in cohesive groupings or not, and some of them even fundamentally good in nature—have done things that have inflicted various levels of harm on others on the basis of at least questionable, if not outright errant accusations and suppositions. I’ll certainly agree that, most particularly the […]

  • Autism – What Did You Know and When Did You Know It?

    I’m not a person who likes to draw conclusions on obviously incomplete data. For example, I like to make sure people are as aware of things pertinent to any post I write as possible. That’s why I’m prefixing this post with the statement that I have an Autistic soon-to-be-six-year-old at home. I know that people […]

  • What’s Important?

    Anybody who knows me personally (and some who don’t) are aware that I have an Autistic son. As a result, I tend to pay attention when folks (especially adults) who have Autism or deal with Autistic folks, speak about their experience and give advice on things you can do to help in the process of […]

  • On Property Ownership

    One of the hardest things about writing has little or nothing to do with the actual act. Rather, it comes before the actual time “penning” a given piece of work. Having once decide about what one is going to speak, there is a tendency to come to the stark realization that, the thing I about […]

  • What, Again?

    Before I get into the “meat” of this post, allow me to tell you just a little about myself. To begin with, my training and credentials regarding Autism amount to zilch other than my experiences with a certain five-year-old named Garrett (and a few random encounters with other Autistic children and their parents, siblings and […]

  • About Garrett, Autism and Their Intersection

    Finally, a chance to add to my blog on a more significant subject than even the ones with which I have been prone to deal. What brings about this change? It’s the acknowledgement by a member of the medical community (as well as the local  school system) that my son (Garrett) is Autistic (and very […]

  • So this is Fifty Four

    I hope it’s true for everybody, age aside, that they learn a little more—become a little wiser and a little bit more able to deal with their respective world—on a daily basis. I’ve never been one to celebrate my own birthday, and I’m not intending to “break that trend” today. Rather than throwing confetti or […]

  • Where And Why Politics And Christianity Intersect

    Perhaps in a perfect world, there would never be a need to discuss politics among Christians or between Christians and unbelievers. Maybe that’s not the case, but whether or not it is, such a need assuredly exists. The funny little reality is, my support for a particular political perspective comes out of my belief in […]

  • On Sanity

    Much has been made by a great many people—myself included—about the need for standards. So significant is this need, that it is hard to imagine a life without them existing. In order to distinguish between righteousness and unrighteousness, rectitude and error, suitability for purpose or lack thereof and so many more things, it is necessary […]
