		<title>when the kids called him weird he didn&#039;t try to deny it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Found at Autism Street originally. I love TEDtalks; they are often enlightening, often entertaining, often interesting. This talk is by Aimee Mullins, on the nature of disability, and is well worth your 22 minutes. In more personal news, the cat and I are back from Hotlanta and pictures will arrive shortly.]]></description>

		<title>between the dust and the debris</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll update later today (it&#8217;s after midnight, it&#8217;s today!) with hair and cat photos, if I don&#8217;t completely forget. As you do. It&#8217;s snowy snow snowing outside again. Another 4&#8243; on top of the 8&#8243; we had (that, to be fair, had melted down by half at least) over the weekend, with possibly a couple [...]]]></description>

		<title>wrap me up against the cold</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alright, first of all, I would like to whine because it is COLD DEATH HORRIBLE COLD and has been for weeks. Look, I know that by choosing to live in the mountains of Virginia, I run the risk of both boiling in summers and getting at least one good snow a year in the winters. [...]]]></description>

		<title>I like talking &#8211; when it&#039;s a healthy back and forth exchange</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am so sick of doctors refusing to listen to what I say that I think I&#8217;m going to give up on visiting them. Clearly what I say has little to no bearing on their assumptions, so I might as well not go. In September, my GP told me he wanted me to get an [...]]]></description>

		<title>in a little kid&#039;s world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Science! Yay! There&#8217;s a lot of just&#8230;bullshit on the internet, which is both one of its greatest strengths and greatest weaknesses (like, if stregnth was a mobius strip). When it comes to health information, though, it&#8217;s definitely a weakness, because many internet users are never taught critical thinking skills&#8211;and even those who think they are [...]]]></description>

		<title>the sky is clear blue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Drugs.com, I love you. Thank you for inadvertently giving me a suggestion for how to not keel over and die. I am in need of both migraine and allergy control, and thanks to your comprehensive interactions tool and reviews section, I learned via researching that I totally need to look into periactin/cyproheptadine. It works [...]]]></description>

		<title>I could not replace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My ability to quote Kate lyrics for titles remains unfettered and, probably, unimpressive. I was reading a blog I quite enjoy just now, and gladly read her breakdown of a new study reporting Copy Number Variations (CNVs) in relation to autism. I love science. That is all. Head on over there to read why this [...]]]></description>

		<title>organized</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With skills beyond my usual expectations, I woke myself at the godawful hour of noon today (I had been asleep since around 8:30, because Prosper was a little beast and ended up being Bathroom Cat (1)) and made it over to work eleven hours before I was due. There was a presentation scheduled on autism [...]]]></description>

I went down on Sunday and came back late Monday night. We put up a wall vinyl she&#8217;s been wanting, which looks pretty good. She fed me all the [...]]]></description>

		<title>doubt and din</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I went to the doctor for my 2 week follow up after discontinuing topamax last Friday (the 2nd). He was still pretty skeptical of my claims of possible seizure activity. I haven&#8217;t had another event with the nystagmus and all of that, but I&#8217;m still having daily rounds of hiccups (fun) and some interesting [...]]]></description>
