lately, i've found myself enjoying being autistic.

well, ok, i'm an aspie, but that's not to say everything is roses and diamonds for me on a daily basis.

nevertheless, there are so many things that most people just miss out on that i get everytime.

the feeling of just being alive. i'm so aware of being alive. of this body i'm in. of the world around me.

sure i get overwhelmed from time to time. but, hey - i wouldn't give this up for anything.

though many so-called 'normal' people could get some appreciation for what they have and stop getting all messed up just coz someone else's problems 'spoil' their so-called day.

oh yeah. just so we're clear: autism doesn't need a cure, it's foundation is genetic, and here are three good reasons why there is no "autism epidemic"! (go read)

you've read recently that several studies, and the stats out of japan, have put a nail in the coffin of the whole mercury in the vaccine crowd's crusade.

except of course, they don't particularly care.

just so long as it's not their genes that might be responsible for their children being more complex than they planned for. bloody selfish shits.

They want somebody to blame. Pity there isn't anybody. And it's true what a lot of people say, I think, that there's some deep denial among parents of austitic kids about their own status as NT. Bit ironic, then, them perseverating on the whole mercury idea :)
