  1. We wait with baited breath to see if the Iranian people will take their government back and make it do their bidding. We've been told that the Iranians are a peaceful people who just want to do right by their families same as we do. I sincerely hope that is the case and I hope they succeed.

  2. It's official. New York's State Senate has confirmed what we have long suspected. They are a bunch of self serving clowns. Never mind the state is on the edge of a financial melt down.

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?
