I know you will get your piece to the place that brings you peace. Such wonderful stories you have shared here. I am going to explore as many as time allows. My son has had autism friends, due to him being a 'special needs' kid. Inclusion has always been the goal. And he is doing well. The unfortunate thing is not all people are generous in spirit, instead taking advantage of what they see as 'weaker in knowledge' thus he has been taken advantage of. We keep working on teaching discernment with a hopeful heart believe that people are good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925676452875149347.post-78264742527215752612012-01-07T20:15:46.029-08:002012-01-07T20:15:46.029-08:00want to get it down to 7 or 8 thousand, which mean...want to get it down to 7 or 8 thousand, which means i should get it down to 7 but will stop at 8, most likely.Ed Pilollahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09139531369534586168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925676452875149347.post-58120793926865713722012-01-07T14:39:47.734-08:002012-01-07T14:39:47.734-08:00I recently read a book which was fiction but conta...I recently read a book which was fiction but contained a lot of scientific fact about autism. It stated that until pretty recently autistics were considered as having mental illness, whereas now they are learning so much more about it and are discovering that far from being mentally ill, many autistics are extremely gifted in at least one way, most, up to genius levels. I've always thought that their brains work on their own frequency and we just don't understand its wiring. <br />Great post Ed, you certainly know some interesting and, it seems, very talented people.Daydreamertoohttp://daydreamertoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925676452875149347.post-68736306346125317262012-01-07T12:37:01.609-08:002012-01-07T12:37:01.609-08:00Ed, I am sorry you have to chop so much out of you...Ed, I am sorry you have to chop so much out of your story!

I need to change my line of work. As to editing....it can actually be exhilirating. But 10,000 words is not very many, or do you mean you have to cut 10,000???<br /><br />I especially LOVE Jeff's take on the gospels. Written by men in a religious structure founded and administered by men, is it any wonder that the women of the gospels are mentioned as an afterthought when they're mentioned at all? And then only as mothers, wives and feet washers. Mary Magdelene was as much a disciple as the men who were consistently missing the point.<br /><br />Thank you for the links. I will definitely be going there.Yvonne Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212188414972694795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925676452875149347.post-64852764474989137322012-01-07T06:24:26.349-08:002012-01-07T06:24:26.349-08:00Sweet of you to plug them Ed.

I loved hearing about these fabulous spirits out there doing tremendous good. I especially love the title of Jeff Dietrich's, book, Broken and Shared...it just really resonates.
