EH!  WHAT?  Who woke me up?  Oh, the A word got used.  Ah...


Still ain't seen any connection between Mr. B.C, his Gay friend and Autism.  Excepting his first cousin - a fine fellow, and a keen bass guitarist too.  

I think being able to make fun of yourself is a good sign.  I've spent mucho time getting laughed at for the wrong reasons - was trying not to be disabled.  Hence my 'outness'.  Sometimes, you gotta fall flat on that face.  Just natural.  Then the world will laugh at you.

More serious we want to get taken the harder they judge you?  Mind you, I spend my life trying to help people since I was a small child, not knocking anyone's disabilities.  Bit odd that, but I kinda always knew I wasn't some sort of superman.

Jo - Take the piss out of a counselling session?  I call my sessions 'conversations on the Gatherers list'.


Oh God....

I feel fat too.  Oh Dear God...

I think you are.  
In a way 'suffering' from something sort of makes you bit more entitled to laugh about it.  I'd rather take the piss out of something than go for a councelling session.  Much less gloomy and more positive IMO.
 
 
Can I test the waters? I put on some weight a while back when I couldn't go to the gym for a couple years...perhaps 30 pounds or so. I noticed one day as I was sitting down, leaning slightly to one side, I felt a *plop* as a little roll of fat was birthed into existence around my floating ribs...as a tall skinny type and gym freak for most of my life it was one of the most disgusting, yet funny, experiences I've ever had. Relating it to other people has been quite funny...does that make me bad for making fun of fat people? Can I no longer do it after losing the weight...?
