same question

I wanted to be a writer or a teacher.

Have you ever stayed overnight at a camp?

yes..

Do you feel there has been many contributions to society by autistic people?

Yep. If I started making a list now I won't end till tomorrow. Turing, Tesla, DaVinci, Einstein, Mozart, Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg all come to mind so far.

Are you satisfied with your life right now?

yup. i'm in school and i love to learn.

same Q.

To a certain extent yes, though I hoped for more stability in some ways.


Does your local community foster better acceptance of autistic persons?

It's accepting to an extent, but a lot of people don't know much about either Autism or Asperger's [even those who really need to].
same question

My local community are generally well-intentioned and tolerant, excluding a handful of sociopaths intent on making everyone around them miserable. The kind who yell at you and throw things from cars.

What is your favourite book, and why?

Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle". It's about exploitation of people in Chicago in the meat packing industry. Any book that deals with exploitation and dehumanization of my fellow man will catch my attention.

I'm not a violent person and not into sports, so when Muhammad Ali died recently, I didn't feel as bad as I did when it was Prince or David Bowie because I never paid attention to boxing. How do you feel about the passing of Muhammad Ali?

Funny that you mention violence.

Comedian George Carlin explained it this way:

"Mohamed Ali is a man whose job...is beating people up.

It's a strange calling. But he is every good at it, and he gets paid very well to do it.

But then the government came along and told him to stop beating people up because the government needed him to...KILL people!

Mohamed Ali protested, and said 'I don't wanna kill people! I just wanna beat 'em up!'

So then the government said 'if you don't kill people then we won't let you beat 'me up.'"

No need to add anything to what George Carlin said.


Do you have any random thoughts about Ali, Prince, Bowie, or Robin Williams?

Ali: He was an admirable man. Prince: no thoughts. Bowie: I liked his music. Williams: I enjoyed him in One Hour Photo, Jumanji, and Dead Poets Society.

Do you wear hats?

No. Not yet anyway.

I wear a beanie around the house sometimes.

Are you politically active?

Not really. I do plan to vote for Hillary come November. I've also written the Mayor of Seattle a few times about things that could use a little change, but that's about it.

Is anyone in your family in government, local, state or national?

no, but my next door neighbor and friend was on city council.

what is your favorite season?

Autumn
