Aging is increasingly becoming something suffered in loneliness and helplessness by most people, at least in the U.S.. I'm basing this on a few documentaries I've watched on the subject. One statistic I heard is that a person's best chance of not dying in a nursing home are if they have many daughte...

I am forever pure.

What is illusion,
Or the world?

What is the little soul,
Or God Himself?

One without two,
I am always the same.

I sit in my heart.

I don't find her work to be impressive at all. A bit remarkable, given that she is so young, but it is certainly not "genius" in my opinion. I have seen more impressive artwork from young artists. Robert Crumb and his brothers did some amazing drawings as children, and both of Robert's children are ...

I can't remember his name, but an associate of Pekar was unofficially diagnosed by Pekar's wife as HFA in "American Splendor." This was the guy who was utilized by MTV for some kind of comedy spoof? Sorry but I can't recall his name. Harvey might be aspie too but pretty high functioning, it would se...

I just saw the film "Crumb" and was very much struck that Robert and both of his brothers displayed many autistic traits. It was glaringly obvious. One brother (Charles, who committed suicide a year after the filming) never left home after high school but was quite brilliant and well spoken. The oth...
