How the brains of people with Asperger’s work. I found this very helpful. It’s a short film made by young people with Aspergers Syndrome explaining what it is like to have it, in their own words.

BODY

And I’ve started making homemade granola bars (hence the photo of June Cleaver, above).

I’ve got ankle issues. Do you? This video was helpful to me. (Hat-tip to Novo Wellness)

“Loss, our first and final teacher,” wrote John Wood in posting this story about a horse named Remedy on Facebook. Yes.

VOICE

“Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.” -Og Mandino
