Amanda: This has nothing to do with the video, but I just came across this link to an article written by Dr. Dick Sobsey on why parents of children with developmental disabilities should not blame lack of services when a parent murders a child with developmental disabilities: http://www.notdeadyet.org/docs/articles/sobsey0301.html I thought of you when I saw this because it made me think of some of your earlier posts about parents that exploit murders of autistic children as an argument for why families need better services. This article looks like it might be a good one to recommend to parents who become upset when autistic adults criticize them for using that argument. Sobsey brings up some of the same points that you (and others) have raised before, but some parents (for better or for worse) might find it a little easier to swallow coming from a professional (and I think a fellow parent?).

interesting thread over on metafilter regarding another “kid” who made me (for one) smile: http://www.metafilter.com/61883/I-HAVE-TO-KNOW-THE-LANGUAGE-IT-IS-IN

What a cutie! Joey always loved spinning and flicking, even when he was a teeny tiny. We had one of those spiiner things that’s supposed to stick on the high chair tray with a suction cup to distract the kid while mom figured out the feeding, and he would play with that thing for HOURS if I let him.

Awww :D. Ds1 used to move away and want to be on his own when his baby brother came near him as well. Now he loves to grab Ds2’s feet and arms and wave them around and kiss him with his forehead :D.
The spinny toys looked fun, I kept thinking of the Weebles, even though they don’t look the same.
