Guys? Please don't fight in my journal this week...

[conuly]

I've got finals. And I'm babysitting. I don't have time to babysit my journal too. Normally, I don't care *what* goes on in the comments, but this week isn't normal.

Thanks.

Excuse the OT comment....

I realize you're busy this week, but I was quite dismayed at the television program my great-aunt was watching last night. (I looked it up and it's called "Everwood", broadcast on the WB.)

One of the subplots was a boy with abuse-type injuries--healed fractures, stories that didn't quite jibe with the injury, etc. Eventually he admitted that his brother was doing it.

Oh, did I mention the brother (never seen, as far as I know) was called simply "autistic" as the explanation and reason for the abuse, and the mother was being pressured to institutionalize him as the Solution to the abuse problem?

I haven't researched autism at all, but from passive exposure via your journal, this just set off the warning bells.

I deliberately avoid Everwood. Now I have a reason. Thanks, I think....
