I wake up (usually) and my brain is ticking over...I remember when I was little walking about the yard with my dad (another morning person) about 5am talking our heads off and tending to chooks and other... all my good ideas come to me in the morning - actually I have a sense of humour but not everyone is ready to receive it before they have their eyes open.

And yes accommodations for people with Autism is inadequate. I think of this every time I travel and wonder why do airports, bus stations, hotels etc. have a quiet room for instance. <br />As for the bus, it is very rare people complain about my presence--at least in NYC at non rush hour times. What I do find objectionable is people that refuse to give up theri seat for an elderly person. This makes me crazy. william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-44141471257984601052013-09-21T06:43:51.477-07:002013-09-21T06:43:51.477-07:00lol. that's funny and sad, and brings up a pro...lol. that's funny and sad, and brings up a problem. Being autistic, I am barred from any sort of special needs seating or accommodation, even when I actually need it. Anyone with an invisible disability, illness or chronic pain related health issue should also get some access. <br /><br />That said, I'm angered when someone with a mobility issue gets on a bus and people complain about having to make space! Happened last week. I wanted to hit them with sticks.<br /><br />I can certainly stand when someone with mobility issues needs the space, but I'd sure love a seat in the place of some lazy hipster pup.Jason Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08678439544508714619noreply@blogger.com
