Sasha's commentary for 22 January 2013

Houston, we have ANOTHER small problem,

I give my friends copies of the draft to my novel, and I would at least hope for them to get back to me with even the slightest bit of news. Nope. Oh, well, good things take good time. And patience is something we all need more of these days.

In the last two weeks, I've heard about the concept of a cure for autism.

For those on the outside of the autism community, there are your two types: the ones who believe that a cure for autism would be detrimental to the civil rights of those on the spectrum. Some in that school put Autism Speaks in the same category as the Nazi party, with us on the spectrum in the same category as the Nazi's targets (Jews, homosexuals, gypsy's, the seriously disabled). Personally, yes, Autism Speaks could do MUCH more to reach out to individuals on the spectrum.

The other half of the community are so distraught about a loved one being autistic that a cure is a godsend for some of them. I can understand the plight of the Fluties, who have a child unable to speak.

I guess it's different for me. I can speak and communicate fairly well, even if it doesn't get across 100% correctly, I can work a full-time job, there are people I refer to as my friends and I've done my share of dating (girls, take note this stud is still taking dating applications. I promise a fun and safe time out. And I'll probably make a fool out of myself so bad you'll spend the next day still laughing out your brains).

I've heard of enough ABA (applied behavioral analysis) to drown a common house pet. Now, the buzzword is this: can you outgrow autism? That's like saying you can outgrow ADHD. In my own battle with attention deficiencies, the effects die down after a few year, but never go away. My body language is such that there will always be that one person who will continue to think I am a creep, no matter what.

What did America learn on Inauguration Day? New York's own Chuck Schumer is a CREEPER.

We're all aware of the fact that excess use of plastics can be detrimental to our health. Another study has stated the obvious.

Remember when I posted that thing from Keith Ablow? One of Fox's own writers wrote a rebuttal. I need to agree with Diana Falozne: we're a generation of guinea pigs.

Chuck Lorre, as a Potsdam alum, please, kill off Two and a Half Men with dignity. You're a creativity tank, you can come up with something to take it's place. First it's Charlie, now it's Angus.

Folks, I apologize for sourcing Fox News too much tonight. It won't happen again.

*Due to work-related issues, this blog is a little late. I apologize, but this is somewhat expected.*
