| Interesting enough, James has already been performing for the public for a few years already. I watched some youtube videos of him going back to '08. Listen to him sing Kashmir by Led Zepplin, omg he's good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU_-AIyHi4s |

| So now its march. Is he still in the competition? I saw the tail end of "Idol" when he was picked, and told of his various conditions (tourettes as well as AS) and got hooked on rooting for him too. But I havent kept up with Idol since then. Yes he is still in it. In fact, he's in the top 13! Yay!!... |

| This is my take on it. I think that when people speak of wanting a cure for Autism, they are talking about the ones with Autism who are greatly disabled by it. And I don't think they're wanting to take away a persons character or personality... they just want the disabling, painful things taken away... |

A doctor I saw this year said that when he first saw me, he had to look at my birth date in my file again, because he thought he had looked at it wrong. He couldn't believe that I was as old as 50.

| I think there is a difference between the younger Aspie's and the older Aspie's when it comes to needing validation from an Asperger's diagnosis. It seems to me, and I could be wrong, but it seems like the younger Aspie's are told at such a young age about their AS, that it isn't as important to the... |
