Anxiety in ASD

Went for a guest lecture by Dr. Trenesha Hill, Asst Prof at U Nebraska Medical Center. 

What caught my attention was atypical/autistic anxiety (vs non-autistic-anxiety) as being related to core characters of Autism. Especially the suggestion that hypersensitivity (ie: sensory differences) was a main factor distinguishing autistic-anxiety from non-autistic anxiety. Totally worth investigating the sensory aspect which I wish this study had done.

46th anniversary of 504 sit-in

46 years ago, Apr 5, 1977 was the start of the longest sit-in in US history. 

On April 28, 1977, Secretary Joseph Califano signed the regulations.

"Without 504 — there might well be no Americans with Disabilities Act, that finally brought us up to parity with federal civil rights laws covering gender and race."
