I was browsing the internet today, procrastinating on my poetry paper, when I came across something I had not seen in AGES: The Arthur tv show. This episode in particular had a kid with Asperger's Syndrome: www.youtube.com/watch

Guys, you have no idea just how HAPPY this episode makes me. I watched this show religiously as a kid, and seeing it ( Read more... )

 So, a few days ago I had a bit of an epiphany ( Read more... )

 Gad, every time I type in my LJ password, I think to type in the password for my school computer!

Ha, I saw the play before Kelly!

Seriously, it was AWESOME. All the kids were so talented, and it was hard to believe it was a high school production. 
I remeber (vaguely) seeing it in chicago when I was, like, five, but now I can remember it better

Sigh. I loved that movie when I was little. It basically sums up my entire childhood. That, and Aladdin ( Read more... )
