Merry belated Christmas! (or whichever you celebrate this time of year!)

Sorry I couldn't update sooner, I am going to New York for a family gathering in a few days and my life has been hectic with christmas and preping for the trip. The presents I have gotten so far (Not sure if we are going to have Christmas with the family in New york yet or not) are as follows:
-Warioware: Smooth moves for wii
-Custom robo arena for ds
-mortal kombat for ds
-Mario & Sonic at the Olympic games for wii
-Super Mario galaxy for wii (pure awesomeness, hope to have a gamer geek review when I get back)
-20 wii points which were used to buy Dynamite Headdy, and Air "Zonk"
-a wii classic controller (Yes, I'm an avid gamer, sue me)
-rattlesnake egg magnets
-the book of Homer Simpson
-a bunch of fancy clothes
I also come baring good news about my gamer geek blog, but since this is the more popular of my 2 blogs, I may as well post it here: I plan to save up for and get an xbox 360 soon! After I achive this, I plan to get and review both bioshock (looks wicked awesome) and sonic the hedgehog next-gen(I'm a fan of sonic and I fail to believe that this game is as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I like his 3D games, including Shadow.)
In closing, I hope you all had a happy holiday and god bless!

Music and the Autistic mind

I have a very fond love of the world of music, as it is something that I grew up with. My parents were fans of rock, like ACDC and Nirvana and easy listening, like Sting and Don McLean. It's a taste I'm proud to inherit. The bands I've taken a liking to the most are Radiohead, the Police, Coldplay, Daft Punk, and the Beatles. The first concert I went to was Coldplay and I am good at identifing artist on the radio when asked. I think it's safe to say that everyone can and does appreciate the art of music.

True Life: Autism

While surfing the net, I found out that MTV has made a documentary on autism that I thought explained a lot about it. I put it on the side bar for you all to watch. I've heard that many people think the people on this documentary are simply actors and I'm here to tell you that is a flat out lie. In fact, I personally knew some autistic children that needed to use voice boxes and cards just to say that they are thirsty. You simply cannot impersonate what an autistic person goes through...

I do wish MTV followed it's namesake and actually played music instead of going through the life of a spoiled brat. (I'm looking at you, super sweet 16.) :)

Don't be shy...

I notice that only a few people have given me their story. I want to hear about how other people deal with their autism. Please drop me a comment so I can help all of you better.
