Ian's new backpack
Yesterday night I bought Ian a new backpack. This made me happy. I could visualize with joy the pleasure Ian would feel and the light in his eyes upon receiving his new backpack. He likes to receive new things, in general, and as an affirmation that he is positively regarded by others. I could envision with pleasure the kick Ian would get out of the pretty colors and all the pictures of Julius the Monkey as well as his pride at taking his new backpack to school on Monday.

A Paridigm Shift Needed in the Autism Community?
There is a very important question that must be asked, a very important issue that must be addressed. America and the rest of western civilization has gotten to the point where every epidemic, every problem, every minor or major social issue must be solved by government or an associated organization. Will we as the autism community ever realize that this is virtually impossible when it comes to our very real problem? How in the world can we trust an entity that is culpable in this epidemic, to care about finding the cause, much less a cure?
