Girls with Autism and Why Society Missed Them
Years ago I had a theory about why there is so much violence among men and boys. Informed by my education in cultural anthropology and my own imagination, I theorized that the male human was still being affected by their evolutionary need to fight to protect the “tribe.” As such, in spite of humanity coming to a place where we should be able to “all get along,” boys and men found meaning in being part of a cohesive group of some kind, including gangs. The violence of gangs, MMA fighters, boxers, and other groups against one another was a release of this inherent need to fight; anger built up because there is no other type of release available other than these.

The “Disability Effect”
I saw this video the other day in a Facebook group I belong to. The group, Cultural Autism Studies at Yale, (CASY) a semi-private Facebook group for CASY/ Cultural Autism Studies at Yale, founded by Roger J. Jou MD, MPH, PhD is a psychiatrist and researcher at Yale University specializing in autism. One of the administrators is Dawn Prince-Hughes, author of Songs of the Gorilla Nation: My Journey through Autism. This book was instrumental in helping me as I learned about the “disorder” my son had recently been diagnosed with over twenty years ago. As I read it, little bells rung in the back of my mind regarding my own experiences, but I paid no attention because her life was so very different from mine.

The Luminous Grove
The night was alive with an otherworldly glow. As Aiden stepped cautiously through the dense woods, his breath hitched at the sight before him—a colossal ancient tree standing at the heart of a meadow, its roots sprawling like the veins of the earth. But what truly stole his breath away were the tiny, glowing fungi that surrounded its base, illuminating the ground with a mesmerizing blue hue.

I then abandoned the project for a bit because I was struggling with the ideas I wanted to express.

Plan E: Love, Laws, and the Art of Not Falling Apart.
It’s been a funny old year – a funny old life, really. Not funny ha-ha, except if you count the jokes on me, I suppose. No, more funny—tumultuous, weird. Strange, by and large. Though there were laughs along the way. Each and every byway and all that. And a shit ton of tears, of course. What to say? When I feel, I feel it hard. I’ve spent most of my life in a state of sucker punched.
