I don't play those kinds of games

By
On Thursday, September 30, 2004 I received an email from one Nathaniel Livingston with a link to a photo of a politician's daughter (which he apparently sent to other black conservative bloggers as well). What's the big deal you ask? Well, Mr. Livingston seems to think that I should be interested in pontificating on the brewing scandal surrounding said politician's daughter. Sorry sir but I do not play those kinds of games. My one and only response to Mr. Livingston (besides this post) is this:

Not sure why you think I would be interested in the photo but here's a link for you: http://mt.ektopos.com/parablemania/archives/000787.html

The link is to hubby's post "Outing Gays for Political Gain" on September 28, 2004. You can find the link to Mr. Livingston's response in the track backs to hubby's post. Hubby's response to this gentleman's obvious lack of understanding of the issue is entitled "Democrats Make Republicans Turn Gay," as this seems to be part of the thesis of his response to my email and hubby's first post. Any of you coming here from Mr. Livingston's blog can read those two posts. Hopefully you all have better reasoning on this issue than Mr. Livingston.

The teenager who joked with me over physics and algebra homework tonight was 6 months old the morning of September 11, 2001.

That morning after I got tired of hauling him back from the edge of the bed he was intent on crawling over I took him downstairs to safer level terrain. I turned on the television to check the news like I did every morning back then. At first I was horrified by what I saw. One smoldering tower. Not long after, while all the reporters and newscasters were struggling to make sense of what they were seeing, one plane, another tower, and I was pissed. At that point I understood what was happening. Why did people think, and still think, that kind of wretchedness served their cause? I didn't care what the cause was. These were arrogant fools. But the news kept coming about just how wretched humanity had been to itself that day. The ...

Treating autism as traumatic brain injury

By
I've been doing research into autism, dyspraxia, how the normal brain works, and how an autistic/dyspraxic brain works (or doesn't work). Traumatic injury to different parts of the brain can cause the same problems suffered by autistic and dyspraxic children. Compare this list of the functions of different parts of the brain and the problems caused by injuries to those areas with these descriptions of dyspraxia and autism. What is Developmental Dyspraxia? Developmental dyspraxia is a disorder characterized by an impairment in the ability to plan and carry out sensory and motor tasks. Generally, individuals with the disorder appear "out of sync" with their environment. Symptoms vary and may include poor balance and coordination, clumsiness, vision problems, perception difficulties, emotional and behavioral problems, difficulty with reading, writing, and speaking, poor social skills, poor posture, and poor short-term memory. Although individuals with the disorder may b...
