I recently received an email from The Autism News, http://theautismnews.com/2011/09/02/temple-grandin/

The Autism News is a great website and I really like them.

I am a huge fan of hers, am asperger’s as well. Mine is different as are my kids who also are on the autism spectrum.

I am inspired by Dr. Temple Grandin, she is the one of the reason’s I started this website and am developing an autism foundation to help improve the quality of life for autistic people via technology, education and the arts. Once our funding and corporate sponsorship’s increase as well as the completion of our 501c3, we will expose autistic people and their families to tech, music, the arts and provide the tickets to events, and funding for education in technology usage, and we will provide the technology, as well as music and the arts.

In a recent article and a post in HP’s website they may be producing 1 more run of HP touch pads to meet demand. If that is the case, it is a good idea. For the $ 100 or $ 200 price it is a great value. I was decently impressed by the ones that I have tried. The web os reminds me of Black Berry’s tablet os as well.

HP-TouchPad-Tablet

Ten days ago, HP announced that it was going to be liquidating its abruptly-discontinued TouchPad, the WebOS-powered iPad competitor that launched early this summer. When it first launched the device was going for $500; a later price drop to $400 didn’t do much to help sales. But the liquidation sale sure did. The new pricetag: $99.

All TouchPads available from both HP and retailers alike were sold out within a day or two. And since then, technophiles eager to get in on the deal have been refreshing their inboxes, Twitter feeds, and HP’s websites to find out when the remainder of HP’s unsold inventory would become available.

Touch Pads are going to be available once again it seems. I hope so. I would definitely buy one.

I have tested both at the local Fry’s store and liked the Lenovo’s design it was different and felt good in the hand, and it has a nice selection of ports.

I found this inspiring video that also embodies our purpose, I have asperger’s. my 3 kids are on the spectrum, we need to help autistic peoplr. We intend to help via technology, music and the arts. We will fund donations of tablets to individuals and schools, and donate tickets to musical, and cultural events, we will fund music therapy, and help music and theater programs and inspire them to include people on the autism spectrum, and we will donate towards music, and arts educational programs.

Here is the video—>

If that does not inspire people to help autism organizations like ours, then what truly will. I stand up for autism, please help us, as they say united we stand.

We need corporate sponsors, donors of tech like tablets, music-instruments or tickets to cultural events, and fundraising. We also need a board member.

Here is an example of some the music that soothes my aspie mind and evokes emotion.

“Scarborough Fair” is a traditional ballad of the United Kingdom.
The song tells the tale of a young man, who tells the listener to ask his former lover to perform for him a series of impossible tasks, such as making him a shirt without a seam and then washing it in a dry well, adding that if she completes these tasks he will take her back. Often the song is sung as a duet, with the woman then giving her lover a series of equally impossible tasks, promising to give him his seamless shirt once he has finished.
As the versions of the ballad known under the title “Scarborough Fair” are usually limited to the exchange of these impossible tasks, many suggestions concerning the plot have been proposed, including the hypothesis that it is a song about the Plague. The lyrics of “Scarborough Fair” appear to have something in common with an obscure Scottish ballad, The Elfin Knight (Child Ballad #2),[1] which has been traced at least as far back as 1670 and may well be earlier. In this ballad, an elf threatens to abduct a young woman to be his lover unless she can perform an impossible task (“For thou must shape a sark to me / Without any cut or heme, quoth he”); she responds with a list of tasks that he must first perform (“I have an aiker of good ley-land / Which lyeth low by yon sea-strand”).
The melody is very typical of the middle English period.
As the song spread, it was adapted, modified, and rewritten to the point that dozens of versions existed by the end of the 18th century, although only a few are typically sung nowadays. The references to the traditional English fair, “Scarborough Fair” and the refrain “parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme” date to 19th century versions, and the refrain may have been borrowed from the ballad Riddles Wisely Expounded, (Child Ballad #1), which has a similar plot.

Travel with disabled kids is a challenge worth the effort
By Stephanie Steinberg, Special to CNN

(CNN) — Twelve-year-old Peter Mance knows every street before he sets foot in a city.
It’s not because he’s visited before. It’s because he’s autistic and has an uncanny ability to memorize maps.
“He’s actually a big help when traveling,” jokes his mother, Kim Mance, founder of women’s travel blog Galavanting and the Travel Blog Exchange, a community of travel writers and bloggers.
Mance’s other son, 10-year-old son Stephen, has used a wheelchair since surgery to remove a spinal tumor left him paralyzed from the waist down. Mance always has to make extra phone calls to ensure there’s an accessible subway or hotel room, but that hasn’t stopped her from vacationing with her sons all over the world.
