I am diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, adhd, and generalized anxiety disorder. I've been to jail more times then i have fingers and toes. I want to help raise awareness so that maybe other people won't have to go through what I've been through.
Does UCSF Dr. Kripke (or similar minded Dr.) take new autism patients who are not a member of Golden Gate Regional Center? Or NOT member of any regional center? My wife Jennifer (autism) has a pattern of 911 visits to Emergency Rooms constantly, on occasion John Walker (AASCEND member diagnosis late in life) also. The visits hospital Emergency Rooms mostly end up negative, as in no health issues (@9:40). @9:40 quote "...people with disabilities get sick like everyone else, but they aren't sick..." Also need Work FMLA, Resonable Accomodations, work letters.
Wish someone steered my parents to someone who knew someone in a similar position in the late 1970s/early 1980s at UCSF
Next AASCEND Hike is actually Sat. Feb 25th, 11am, from Marina Green to Aquatic Park, in SF, meeting at Phillz Coffee Truck near the corner of Marina blvd and scott
💙 thank you!
I have a favoritism bars because of playing in bands and jam sessions often takes place in bars though I admit I usually just drink water or club soda I've never been in that what you did alcohol. And in terms of women often they come through a singers and sometimes instrumentalists to these sessions as well as we'll see the men that do. Have a good day today at noon and the woman leaves a bad is somebody on possibly interested in but I don't want to screw up my professional relationship with her.
Probably a minor example of this mismatch is seen in about a 1940 vintage RCA Victor record catalog that I one time had possession of. The artwork of the *Race" section obviously it would give you the impression that African-Americans were into Minstrelcy and Antebellum aesthetics.
Regards to the book review Ableism as much of an intrinsic Bias as Racism or Sexism.
You might check out Thelonious Monk.

My main memory of trying to be involved with a religious organization is between services having a piano fallboard almost slammed on my hands. I've never had that happen in a bar. A cousin of mine in a church was shamed for having a Montgomery Ward's sweater by another higher standing member of the church her family was part of.
I have issues with having to suspend rationality (and work backwards from their conclusions) to be involved with a religion. Criticism of the government is strongly encouraged (and in principle I agree with it), but let's encourage is criticism of big business, further discouraged is the criticism of religion (agreeing to stay away from anti-religious bigotry, well still being skeptical of dogma).
Jan Johnston Tyler is the best help I've ever had for my career in IT in silicon valley. If you feel like no one is on your side you need to get int touch with her.
Social Darwinism is still a major factor in American culture. Often "Losers" are people in situations like being on the autism spectrum. We are considered a low value commodity (unless maybe we're lucky enough to come directly from a wealthy family). Though I admit I'm a little prejudice here because I had a grandmother who was a "Gold Digger" that managed to marry into a wealthy family by marrying its lease functional member, my grandfather. My Paternal Grandfather was basically a nice person, but probably had learning disabilities. Unfortunately he had to spend the rest of his life with my grandmother who was a lot of ways a very horrible narcissistic person. I remember my dad going into crying spells (perhaps a bit forced) describing how my grandfather as a child would fall asleep in school because he had to do a paper route before a class (I guess this was possibly before the family "Really made it" though I'm not certain), I found my dad's crying feeling a bit odd because it was not like he had to deal with Police Brutality/Racial Profiling in the inner city, the Nazi Holocaust or anything like that. The "Sleeping in class" made me wonder if my grandfather had ADD possibly. Though I personally identify largely with my mother who is not from a particularly well to new family though for relative to do well for themselves that we were sort of the pariah of the family. I always have had plenty of rejections and attempts of relationships, unfortunately my prime dating years were before I knew anything really about the autism spectrum, I just not easily tried harder and failed. Does sort of strike a chord with me that a Jewish Family organization is part of this forum. Back when I was first going to Junior college one of the most seemingly appealing at least based on what I could see young women that I'd pursued a relationship with (to the best of my lame abilities) was for a culturally conservative Jewish Family (I myself an not Jewish, I've endeavored pursuing a fairly diverse, ethnically speaking, selection of women throughout my years of attempting relationships). Like me in the case of this attempt at a girlfriend we were both jazz musicians, we were both left handed so those are things that we had in common. But I never really talked to her about relationships because I could picture it being a "Kvetch-Fest with a Goy Schmuck" (partially from the dynamics in my Aunt's former relationship) so I just basically let the situation go in spite of my other disappointment. I do have cousins (their mother is my mother's sister) who are part Jewish on their father's and I kind of know that the family dynamic but they were born in was like. My mother's family situation was also abusive. The family is more Liberal, but most of them would prefer to associate with people with High IQs (which I'm not seen as part of, neither was my mother). She was the Third of nine children. Her mother was psychologically and physically abusive with the children and played favorites. Back to my situation of relationships, I've only tried to pursue women near my age and with similar interests especially musically speaking. Since I'm not rich or famous I always feel maybe parts you could do to my dad's mother and her pursuit of wealth prejudicing my thinking in the area that I'm constantly on the outside. My father was from an upper class family (at least on his father's side) and very conservative. He was very "Proud of his Anglo-Saxon heritage," although I recently took a DNA test of the most of my European ancestry is Hungarian and I'm also 9% Malaysian so I'm no poster boy for racial purity be it Jewish or Anglo-Germanic or whatever. It is possible it could be some garbled phrases in my post above, because I used Voice-To-Text to do it I am trying to edit the anomalies out.
I'm a Basket Case as far as "Romance on the Spectrum" is concerned. I'd like to be able to convince someone I'm interested in that I'm not a stalker.
Does that Leviton guy have any contact information such as a Facebook page Twitter or a website? Ulta beauty know what genre of music he's in? Classical piano had a famous people Glenn Gould who is almost certainly on the Spectrum. In the Jazz world Thelonious Monk and Lester Young also come to. in the Popular music world, it is i undoubtably rare (I can't name any) to find such people as part of being a Pop star is that social interaction.
