We use pictogram pictures and photos of people and places for communication. My brother is mentally disabled as well. He needs help with many basic practical things. I saw a documentary about typing therapy for nonverbal autistic children and it was amazing to see how they were helped by it and could achieve. Some of…

He's a hard ass!

Thank you so much for your article and sharing that about your autistic son, Noel. I appreciated just the fact that you pointed out the there's a wide spectrum when it comes to autism. Just hearing that someone understands and knows it means a lot. My brother is autistic and he's not a high functionl autist, he's like…

I'm very fond of Sweeney Todd, (hmm, that might reveal something about myself), though I've only seen Tim Burton's version. One reason is that it isn't a "typical" musical. It's a morbid,…

Schindler's List. You know, to set the victims and their family members' suffering into perspective.

What an excellent opportunity to display some delightful European mannerism!

Maybe he just loves to bake special brownies.

Hugh Grant has certainly lost his floppy-haired charm. Seeing that picture you wouldn't believe that he once was charming with that sagging face, short grey hair, tired eyes with no hope. Besides he lost all his charm, if he ever had one, with the whole blow job thingy.
