Labor, like Israel, has many sorrows. Its women weep for their fallen and they lament for the future of the children of the race.

When I go to Florida for Christmas I always take my nieces and nephews out on excursions, ... I become like a big kid again.

Come to think of it, that might not be a bad idea. Jimmy Buffett

children color autism
Autism isn't something a person has, or a shell that a person is trapped inside. There's no normal child hidden behind the autism. Autism is a way of being. It is pervasive; it colors every experience, every sensation, perception, thought, emotion and encounter - every aspect of existence. It is not possible to separate the autism from the person – and if it were possible, the person you'd have left would not be the same person you started with. Jim Sinclair
