  AR = DR = HR and Onwards into the Future!

  Yeah, I'm sort of wondering the same thing-- I'm desperately hoping that the new bloggers keep at least some focus on autism issues, and are as clueful about autism as about other disabilities.

  Sweet Sibling Short

  Not captioned, of course. And the full film's on a host that can't even be captioned via Overstream...

  Monday Autism News Potpourri

  As I tweeted, the White House video of the ceremony wasn't initially captioned either-- but they seem to have fixed that not long after I complained:

  There Goes Yet Another Autism Myth

  Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Amanda's comment was in reply to farmwifetwo's, which made the assumption that adult self-advocates can't remember what their lives were like as children. (Definitely not true in my case, nor in the case of many other autistics I've talked to.)

  There Goes Yet Another Autism Myth

  For some of us, it's because we do remember what our reactions would've been like as children that we're so vehement about how autistic kids are treated.

  Transportation Addendum to Stereotypes About Not Working

  And then there's the issue of when someone was originally living convenient to a transit line, then the city decided that part of town wasn't so much worth serving and cut off service to that area. I've actually seen several cases of this-- it's something I've personally encountered, even, at least with respect to the weekend route where I'm currently living.

  Transportation Addendum to Stereotypes About Not Working

  Oh, another potential issue: the transportation is there, both to the person's home and to the office, but not on a schedule that would allow the person to get to work on time (or getting home after work).

  Stereotypes About Not Working

  The transportation thing is one that people just don't seem to get even when it's pointed out. If all the applicable jobs are inaccessible via public transit, they might as well not exist.

  Laugh and Be Happy

  This is somewhat related to something I've noticed about myself: I look very natural in photos where I'm smiling because I'm genuinely happy or amused by something... and I consistently look awkward in photos with posed smiles.
