steven_says raze my little brother is i guess what you'd call mildly autistic. they didn't really have a name for it back then. if that's what he is, it's a very subtle thing. he's a brilliant person. i say little brother, and he's sixty years old. he's only three years younger than me. he lives in a sort of community home. the people there really look out for one another. he's had a lot of health problems. surgeries. he's struggled with addiction. but i know i'm always going to come away from a conversation with him feeling good. he never has a bad word to say about anyone. and he has a way of getting at the heart of things. when it got bad a few years ago and no one could go anywhere or do anything, he said, "you know, i'm used to things shutting down. i'm kind of an expert in that department. this just evens everything out a little." 230110 what's it to you? who go blather from
