YouTube - Crazy Cat Attacking Spuds Dog
Bull Terriers are the best dogs ever- they're either frighteningly intelligent, or not intelligent at ALL. But they've all got personality to burn- this isn't a bad
example :-)

Play brings autism into focus
MiltonCanadianChampion.com: A & E: Story: Play brings autism into focus
Interesting- I would like to see this. Hopefully the University will videotape it and I can get it through inter-library loan at some point!
Doesn't it always figure? I just found their tour schedule and they were in the city right next to mine last night.

Forum sheds light on new methods in autism care
Forum sheds light on new methods in autism care
This is great news- I get very excited when I see new conferences and initiatives in parts of the world where autism care and research is not as prevalent.

Fascinating- I couldn't even make a guess whether they're on the right track, but it sounds like it's going to spur discussion.

FDR, stamp collecting, Obama, and Curly the Barber
Greg Laden's Blog : My Friend Curly and the President Elect
(I'm still half-asleep, but I'm assuming that this has to be a parable).
Write In My Journal
Write In My Journal
This is fascinating- a man just asks different people to write in her journal. I'm going to spend some reading time here today.
(Edited because the author is a guy!)

WTF? The new Terminator character is diagnosed as autistic?
"Personality-wise, Cameron still has a ways to go, recently having been professionally diagnosed with mild autism. But like all Terminators to come before her, she's a sponge for information."
So now Hollywood has resorted to classifying robots as autistic? I find that extremely offensive, and I hope that it's a misprint.

I'm not beaten yet: Terry Prachett on the frustration and fury of Alzheimer's | Mail Online
I can't say enough about my admiration for him for going public with his Alzheimer's struggle, and educating a lot of people. I continue to wish him and his family all the best- after everything that our family has been through, and watching a lot of people close to me die over the years, Alzheimer's is still my biggest personal fear.

Interesting, as is the earlier study Children are naturally prone to be empathic and moral.
I think that I would probably want to distinguish between "bullies" and kids with conduct disorder though- that's a pretty specific diagnosis that goes way beyond just normal bullying.

Fantastic pictures from the campaign trail. Even if you don't like him, the pictures are amazing.

Awesome. I'd pay a lot to see a video of him juggling hermit crabs :-)
Death Threats, Hate Mail: Autism Debate Turns Ugly
ABC News: Death Threats, Hate Mail: Autism Debate Turns Ugly
This is appalling. I'm not sure how our community is supposed to help anyone at all when so much of its time and energy are spent in this horrendous way.

The Enchanted Doll by Marina Bychkova
The Enchanted Doll by Marina Bychkova
Wow- spectacular dolls! The stories make for very interesting reading- I also love the Bride of Frankenstein.
Stephen Hawking writes about having ALS
Stephen Hawking
"I have had motor neurone disease for practically all my adult life. Yet it has not prevented me from having a very attractive family, and being successful in my work. This is thanks to the help I have received from Jane, my children, and a large number of other people and organisations. I have been lucky, that my condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that one need not lose hope."
What a fantastic story he has.

I don't even know what to say except that now I think that the years I spent going headfirst off of horses were a bit wasted.
