    Autistic Man's Caretaker Shot by Police Officer

    This disturbs me so much. Is being autistic becoming almost as much of a crime as being a black man in the United States? http://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-police-shooting-unarmed-caregiver-of-autistic-man-victim-account/

    Good article on nerds, bullying, and pop culture

    This article includes a rather heartbreaking personal story about bullying and how those who are bullied can internalize the attitudes that drive bullying that a lot of us can probably relate to, I thought it was worth sharing here. If nerds won the war for pop culture, why are they so angry...

    Mr. Robot

    Anyone else here watch the show Mr. Robot? I watched the first episode last night and found it enjoyable. The main character (who isn't the "Mr. Robot" of the title) definitely has aspie-like traits (the show never directly says that he's on the spectrum), but he is kind of the typical "aspie...

    Not directly about children on the autism spectrum, but I think most of this would probably apply to them as well: http://geekmom.com/2015/11/the-dreaded-g-word-when-your-child-is-asynchronous/ I think even adults on the spectrum can be "many ages at once" in a similar way, that's what I feel...
