2:53 WHERE DID THOSE BINDERS COME FROM?!

Yer a wizard.

[manchildtrollhair]

@Smischmal are you referring to the tardis materializing on top of my bookshelf? in which case, it's a tricky wibbly wobbly phenomenon

[mmuzey]

My sister is autistic and I have Aspergers. I love reading about it.. Theories etc. but most of all books of people who live it.. I have a hard time living it. but there are times. though rare where I love it. I make so many people but just as many people who look at me like I am indeed stupid. I still to this day try to keep my head up but it is hard. To those who have autism/aspergers do not give up. You are nothing more than an artist who can share to the world your views. You are amazing! :)

@mmuzey stay strong and proud!

[nicciweasley]

And I will definitely consider reading those books.

Your personal connection to this topic... Is that from volunteering with organizations?

[manchildtrollhair]

@nicciweasley yeah for a few years now. there's a group that comes to the camp i work at, so that's how i found them. and i loved the clients i met so in the city i started volunteering with them

[Smischmal]

@manchildtrollhair Huh, now that I take a closer look, that definitely is the tardis. It all makes sense now. Nice touch.

Very sweet, and very true. My ten-year-old son is autistic, and he's brilliant. Thank you.

"A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nite-time", is a fantastic book, one of my favorites.

[Smischmal]

This was a pretty dang awesome video by the way.

@manchildtrollhair and just a note on the sentence 'I make so many people' Its supposed to read "I make so many people laugh but just as many people look at me like I am stupid'. ahhh late night commenting.. Literary Fail.

Curious Incident was un-put-down-able. Loved it so much.
