Musings and meanderings on the autistic spectrum. May 1, 2010. Of privilege and auditory processing. Today is Blogging Against Disablism Day. And for today, I wanted to write about a sort of ableism (as we call it here in North America) that’s rather subtle and largely unconscious, but no less problematic. That’s so good, I don’t think I could ever manage to outdo it. (And besides, I contributed a couple items to it myself! I wish I could provide an outright. But a curse when I’m asked to play on a...

Neurodiversity and social change. Trucking Culture and Chicken Crates. This foreword was written by an angry contributor who tracked down Mark Stairwalt last Friday at the loading dock of Thelma and Louise’s farm in Stink Creek, Kentucky. A heated conversation followed, while two migrant workers, who paid pirates to smuggle them into the United States last year after they got laid off from a Chinese Wal-Mart, loaded chicken crates into Mark’s 53-foot trailer.

For 5th grade music, students have a choice of either taking a "normal" music class, or participating in the band. Buddy Boy chose the band. He wanted to do this when school started, and he wants to do this now. We came home to find this letter:. Work is busy, and home has been hectic. Life goes on. How Sweet It Is.

http://club166.blogspot.com/2011/05/missing-important-social-clues.html
Where a dad of two great kids (one on the autism spectrum) muses about life. Monday, May 23, 2011. Missing Important Social Clues. One of the hallmarks of autism that is often cited is that autistics tend to miss important social clues.

Some of those are very, very severe cases, but you have to look at it in perspective. When you fund some of the special ed things, you're taking from regular kids.".
